Aimed at the new wave of professionals who are making Project Management (PM) their career of choice, this book explores the history and evolution of PM, the real world challenges, and a look at the future. Providing the techniques and strategies needed to tackle these issues head on, chapters examine: the complexity of projects, globalization and the virtual nature of projects, executive sponsoring, and international dilemmas inherent in completing a program on time and within budget. Peter Taylor, The Lazy Project Manger, includes insights from leading thinkers in the world of academia, as well as case studies covering the strategies that global organizations are implementing to future-proof their projects.
