Commercial and competitive pressures place ever greater demands on the
project manager and their team. Each
project presents its own challenges--size, technical complexity, risk, timescale--and professional
management skills of the highest order are needed to ensure success.
To be fully effective,
project managers (and managers of
projects!) need to take decisions from a business perspective and know how to identify and harness all the relevant
skills required for the job.
Mastering
Project Management enables the busy manager to review, extend and sharpen their
project management skills. It promotes individual development, personal and organisational effectiveness by: reviewing lessons from past
projects and exchanges, experience and ideas; enabling experienced
project managers to assess and improve performance and methods; providing practical tools and techniques for the busy manager to improve their
projects.
