Title: Visualizing project management
First published: 1996
Description: Visualizing Project Management offers the combined wisdom of three of the best and most experienced project managers in the business. Kevin Forsberg and Hal Mooz have trained more than 20,000 project managers in hundreds of organizations, including GTE, AT&T, NASA, and Whirlpool. Drawing on hands-on management experience at IBM, Intel, and Lockheed, the three authors present a time-tested, field-proven approach to learning, mastering, and implementing the project management process.

They define 10 essential elements of project management and present models that illustrate how each element fits into the overall project picture. Planned, sequential project cycle events are separated from situational management and leadership elements, which are portrayed in a three-dimensional model.

Supplemented with outstanding graphic charts and helpful analogies, the book features succinct sections and an engaging, easy-to-follow style to help accelerate comprehension. Its quick-access structure makes it a handy reference for established project managers and a wise long-term investment for students and trainees.

You can't avoid the changes brought to corporate managerial structure by increased global competition and the blinding pace of technological innovation. You can, however, face those changes, embrace them, and forge a new and exciting future for yourself and your organization. Visualizing Project Management introduces that future, anticipates its opportunities and pitfalls, and helps you adapt your talents and abilities in order to grow and thrive in the business climate of the twenty-first century.
