Project Management Handbook: Management for Professionals

Autor Jürg Kuster, Christian Bachmann, Mike Hubmann, Robert Lippmann, Patrick Schneider

en Limba Engleză Hardback – 8 feb 2023

Majoritatea organizațiilor tratează gestionarea proiectelor ca pe o succesiune de procese tehnice, ignorând faptul că succesul depinde de factorul uman și de psihologia deciziei. În Project Management Handbook, descoperim o abordare care pune sub semnul întrebării această viziune unilaterală. Notăm cu interes că autorii nu se limitează la metodologii rigide, ci propun un model inovator care îmbină ingineria sistemelor cu dinamica proceselor și psihologia managementului. Această ediție a doua, publicată în colecția Management for Professionals, este rezultatul a mii de seminare practice susținute în Zurich, oferind un echilibru rar între rigoarea academică și pragmatismul elvețian. Abordarea diferă de cea din A Comprehensive Project Management Guide de Philip Bauer prin faptul că este mai puțin abstractă și mult mai orientată spre aplicabilitate imediată; în timp ce Bauer se concentrează pe standarde și filosofia Six Sigma, echipa condusă de Jürg Kuster livrează instrumente concrete precum Project Management Compass, șabloane și checklist-uri gata de utilizat. Găsim în această lucrare o evoluție naturală a textului fundamental Handbuch Projektmanagement, extinzând temele anterioare prin alinierea strictă la noul standard IPMA ICB4. Structura volumului este intuitivă, ghidând cititorul de la fundamentul metodologic (capitolele 1-2) către nucleul vital al oricărui proiect: factorul uman, leadership-ul și dinamica echipelor (capitolele 3-5). Finalul cărții funcționează ca un instrument de studiu, oferind o listă de referință completă pentru certificarea IPMA, ceea ce transformă manualul dintr-o simplă lectură într-un partener de carieră.
