IT Manager's Handbook: Getting your New Job Done
Autor Bill Holtsnider, Brian D. Jaffeen Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 mar 2012
Statisticile din industrie sugerează că primele 100 de zile sunt decisive pentru succesul oricărei tranziții în management, iar IT Manager's Handbook este conceput special pentru a transforma acest interval într-un avantaj strategic. Suntem de părere că această a treia ediție, publicată de ELSEVIER SCIENCE, nu este doar un manual teoretic, ci un instrument operațional indispensabil pentru profesioniștii tehnici care fac pasul spre conducere. Remarcăm o abordare autoritară asupra modului în care un manager trebuie să demonstreze valoarea departamentului IT în fața consiliului de administrație, transformând tehnologia dintr-un centru de cost într-un motor de profit.
Structura volumului este pragmatică, pornind de la definirea rolului și evoluând spre gestiunea capitalului uman și a bugetelor complexe. Autorii Bill Holtsnider și Brian D. Jaffe alocă secțiuni extinse pentru recrutare și retenție, oferind strategii clare pentru evitarea epuizării profesionale a echipei. În contextul operei lui Holtsnider, dacă Agile Development and Business Goals se concentra pe metodologia de dezvoltare software, volumul de față extinde viziunea asupra întregului ecosistem organizațional, de la securitate cibernetică la integrarea aplicațiilor mobile.
Complementar lucrării Solving the Technology Challenge for It Managers de Jim Anderson, care pune accent pe evoluția rapidă a tehnologiilor de tip Web 3.0, manualul lui Holtsnider și Jaffe acoperă zona critică a execuției administrative și financiare — precum dilema leasing versus achiziție și gestionarea relațiilor cu clienții interni. De asemenea, spre deosebire de Project Management de Paul Tinnirello, care se axează strict pe livrabile, acest handbook oferă o perspectivă holistică asupra carierei de manager, incluzând chiar și strategii pentru schimbarea companiei.

Recenzii
"Had this book been available 10 years ago, it would have eased my transition from a purely technical role to a technology management role. Even after a number of years as an IT Manager, I found helpful insights in the first edition of this book and this second edition has added an expanded base of topics to help any new manager succeed. " --Brian McMann, Director, IT Systems, New Global Telecom
"This book is a must-read for a new IT Manager. It is a comprehensive guide to assist the new manager perform the wide variety of job tasks within the organization that s/he will be facing. The seasoned IT Manager/CIO may already know the information presented, but there are sections that provide relevant information and excellent advice to address current issues. For both types of readers, excellent and useful references and resources are included at the end of each Chapter." --Mark Landmann, Partner, Infusion Group LLC
"It is not often that an IT book crosses my desk that, once picked up, cannot be put down until it has been read cover to cover. The IT Managers Handbook proved to be one of these books. Finally an IT management book that actually discusses how to deal with people and not just budget! A book that gives as much weight to managing team member personalities as it does to managing software licenses….The breadth and scope of this book is also quite impressive, given it is only 300 pages long. Outsourcing, cloud computing, project costing and scheduling, security management and of course employee handling all are covered efficiently and with immediate practical consequences. There is more to rave on about with this book, but really all you need to know is that it is a must-have for any beginner IT manager. Read it, and you are off to a great start. And of course the cost of the book is irrelevant - it is worth it." --BCS.org
"Intended as a primer for IT professionals moving into management roles, the third edition of this work adds a new chapter on new connectivity issues surrounding social media and handheld devices. Other chapters include a breakdown of IT management, staffing, project management, software, operating systems and enterprise applications, managing money, technical environment, security and compliance, disaster recovery and working with users. Written in an easily understood and entertaining manner, this handbook aims to maximize the first hundred days in a new role and to address common pain points of IT management with effective strategies and action plans. There is very little filler here, and helpful and otherwise hard won wisdom abounds. Suggested supplemental reading for each topic makes this work a valuable resource for seasoned management as well as novice managers in an IT setting." --Reference and Research Book News, August 2012
