The Strategic Project Office de J. Kent Crawford

The Strategic Project Office: PM Solutions Research

Autor J. Kent Crawford
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 22 sep 2010

Notăm cu interes faptul că The Strategic Project Office pune la dispoziția profesioniștilor un set complet de resurse descărcabile, oferind șabloane și formulare gata de utilizare, care transformă conceptele teoretice în instrumente de lucru imediate. Această a doua ediție, semnată de J. Kent Crawford, rafinează viziunea strategică asupra Biroului de Management al Proiectelor (PMO), ancorând-o în standardele actuale PMBOK®. Observăm o structură riguroasă, organizată în jurul a patru piloni esențiali: guvernanță, optimizarea resurselor, schimbarea organizațională și măsurarea performanței. Progresia logică a volumului ghidează cititorul de la evaluarea stării curente a organizației până la implementarea unei infrastructuri tehnice care să faciliteze colaborarea și managementul cunoștințelor. Complementar volumului The Complete Project Management Office Handbook, care se concentrează pe rolul PMO ca integrator de business și control, lucrarea de față pune un accent mai puternic pe alinierea strategică și pe transformarea PMO-ului într-un centru de management al strategiei globale a companiei. Merită menționat că autorul integrează date din cercetări recente și studii de caz, oferind o perspectivă pragmatică asupra modului în care instrumentele sociale și media colaborative influențează astăzi succesul execuției proiectelor. În contextul operei sale, această carte se corelează direct cu Project Management Maturity Model, oferind nu doar foaia de parcurs pentru creșterea maturității organizaționale, ci și mecanismele concrete de guvernanță necesare pentru a susține această evoluție pe termen lung.
