Project Management

Autor Dennis Lock
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 11 apr 2013

Reținem un fapt remarcabil: această lucrare fundamentală semnată de Dennis Lock a definit standardele în domeniu timp de 45 de ani, fiind printre primele care au abordat managementul de proiect ca pe un subiect holistic. Ajunsă la a zecea ediție, Project Management nu este doar o revizuire, ci o recalibrare autoritară a instrumentelor necesare într-un mediu de business în continuă schimbare. Găsim în această carte o metodologie riguroasă care transformă concepte abstracte în rezultate măsurabile, eliminând tehnicile perimate și introducând capitole esențiale despre managementul schimbării și importanța strategică a managerilor seniori.

Dacă The Essentials of Project Management v-a oferit cadrul teoretic și o introducere în limbajul specific, această carte oferă instrumentele practice avansate și profunzimea necesară pentru execuție. Merită menționat că, spre deosebire de Advanced Project Management de Frederick Harrison, care se concentrează pe puntea dintre teorie și practică, lucrarea lui Lock funcționează ca un manual de operare complet, integrând diagrame clare și studii de caz noi.

Structura este construită pentru a ghida cititorul prin progresia firească a unui proiect: de la estimarea costurilor și evaluarea financiară, la planificarea rețelelor pe drum critic și gestionarea riscurilor. Autorul poziționează acest volum ca pilon central al operei sale, completând viziunea strategică din The Handbook of Project Portfolio Management și aspectele umane tratate în Gower Handbook of People in Project Management. Această ediție rafinează procesele de achiziții, controlul costurilor și analiza valorii dobândite, oferind o claritate rar întâlnită în literatura tehnică.

Descriere scurtă

Dennis Lock's masterly exposition of the principles and practice of project management has been pre-eminent in its field for 45 years and was among the first books to treat project management as a holistic subject. But Project Management has been kept completely up to date by regular and sensitive revisions to ensure that it remains fresh and totally relevant. Project Management explains the entire project management process in great detail, demonstrating techniques from simple charts to detailed computer applications. Everything is reinforced with clear diagrams and case examples, many new for this edition. The author has expanded discussion of topics such as supply chain management and the project management office (PMO), and there are new chapters about implementing change management projects and the role of senior managers in supporting projects. Obsolescent or less frequently used methods have been stripped out, but readers of the hardback Tutor’s Edition will find that this deleted material lives on as new chapters on the accompanying downloadable resources, which have been thoroughly revised. Importantly, that disc includes comprehensive Power Point presentations with hundreds of well designed slides that tutors can use directly as a valuable resource for their lectures. Students have always commented on this book’s reader-friendly style, which is free of unnecessary jargon, with clear diagrams and a construction that is logically organized, well indexed and simple to navigate. This Tenth Edition is certain to maintain the book's acclaimed status as the standard work for managers and students alike.

Recenzii

’Project Management by Dennis Lock, now in its 10th Edition, is a substantial, very thorough and practical book. From the contents it becomes obvious that the author has a broad range of project experience not just in a wide variety of types of project, but also from end to end - and then some...the contents and examples are applicable to projects worldwide...If you purchase the Tutor's Edition, the book also includes a CD ROM with over 600 PowerPoint slides supporting all of the first 28 chapters ... These timed slide presentations are well prepared and represent a valuable asset for instructors wishing to use the book as a basis for instruction.’ R. Max Wideman P.Eng. FCSCE, FEIC, FICE, Fellow PMI, Project Management Wisdom, November 2013 Reviews of previous editions: '...As in the previous editions, the writing is always simple, clear and lucid, and the material is very logically organised. Students often comment that this book is the most readable of all the recommended books in my reading lists, and this is often the one which they choose to buy. I particularly dislike management jargon and this book is refreshingly free of it. It is a very practical book which appeals to the whole range of students I teach and I thoroughly recommend it. ' Dr Sally Brailsford, University of Southampton, UK 'This extensive and exhaustive book deals with almost every aspect of Project Management in its widest sense, including construction and civil engineering projects....The author is obviously very experienced in the field, and in teaching the field. This is aided considerably by the liberal inclusion of useful and informative illustrative case studies. Again, the writing style of the author is to be commended in that these are easily digested and very helpful in adding context to the concepts discussed in the relevant sections.' Building Engineer, 'I have been a fan of Dennis Lock's clarity of thought and objectivity for many years and thoroughly recommend this l
