Description
Summary:"Project Management That Works helps you deal with the reality of unreasonable deadlines and difficult projects and shows you how to accomplish their goals without alienating your executive sponsors or the team working under you. Author Rick Morris and Brette McWhorter Sember teach managers how to have a conversation with key project team members. While many books will teach the theory or discuss ideas, very few combine theory with practical data gathering and teach how to turn the data into real results. This book will show you how to get the appropriate data and use it to support everything you know is supposed to happen, but can't see how to get done. Through the authors' seasoned guidance, you will learn the fundamentals of good project management."
"This is a true insider's guide that will teach you the skills you really need on the job that often aren't part of the project management curriculum. It will enable you to make positive change - no matter how insurmountable the challenges seem."--Jacket
