Product Description Project management is one of the fastest-growing occupations in the world. The Project Management Institute has seen membership growth of more than 1000% in the last 10 years. But while many of these managers know how to plan a successful project in theory, very few have the practical tools needed to navigate the politics of today's corporate world. Project managers need more than just technical skills; they need the right communication skills to succeed. Filled with real-world examples, Project Management That Works gives readers the tools they need to: communicate with their team as well as stakeholders * get their teams to function well * run fewer and more productive meetings * turn around failing projects * utilize data properly to make emotional conversations unemotional * know when a project is really done The only book that addresses the real challenges project managers face today, this is an accessible and invaluable tool that will show every reader how to accomplish his mission--no matter the obstacles.

A top pick for any business collection strong in project management applications December 12, 2008 A widening gap has emerged between project management theory and applications, the authors maintain in PROJECT MANAGEMENT THAT WORKS. This gap isn't in holding meetings but in negotiating the upper levels of power in corporations, and negotiating with project sponsors. This book helps handle deadlines, difficult projects, and communications at all levels, offering project managers tips on how to get data and use it to support and streamline project objectives. A top pick for any business collection strong in project management applications.
Practical advice for any project managers October 14, 2008 True to its title, this book delivers practical real-world advice. It is definitely not your typical PM textbook, filled with theories that have no reflection on the day-to-day life of a project manager.
The author was on point when he addressed the soft and hard skills required to succeed as a project manager. Difficult concepts are made simple to understand. Supported by real-life examples, the suggestions are easy to apply.
Overall, I enjoyed reading this book from cover to cover. It was refreshing to find such a useful guide in a compact and easy-to-read book.
