Project Management Book - Preface
Organisations whose primary business is doing projects employ professional project managers, have well worn project management procedures and are culturally project-friendly.
Organisations whose primary business is not project-based still need to do projects, but the management culture is attuned to managing everyday operations. People asked to manage projects in these process-based organisations may be accountants, IT professionals, engineers, medical professionals, etc. They are not first and foremost project managers. Yet they are expected to manage projects - even major projects that will determine the organisation's future - in an environment that may not be project-friendly.
Some project management books and methodologies start from the presumption that the project team is available and all team members will work full time on the project. In process-based environments this overlooks some of the major challenges that project managers face: for many team members projects are not their "proper job"; they may be assigned to a project for only part of their time and being assigned to a project may be viewed as a career limiting move; senior managers may not always give projects and project managers the support they need.
This project management book will also be of interest to non-IT people who find themselves involved in "IT" projects.
"IT" in quotes because there is no such thing as an IT project, only business projects - some of which involve IT,
some of which don't.
