The Focus of This Book


The science of project management is constantly growing and changing to meet the many diverse needs of projects everywhere. The various levels of government, nonprofit organizations, and private-sector companies all run projects. The organizations range in size from the very large to the very small, as do the projects. Finally, there are many unique industries, all with their own project management characteristics. To cover all of these permutations would require a vast text, and it probably would not be very practical.

My feeling is that there is opportunity for advancing project management in those areas that are rife with uncertainty. The goal of this book is to give you some actionable ideas that will help you to better manage projects in these areas.

Agile Project Management provides some core project management methods, but it also looks at how organizations should use project management to become more effective and successful businesses. These concepts need to be taken and customized to your unique business environment. Since agile PM permeates so many project areas, I will be focusing as much on "what" to do as "how" to do it. Moreover, the "what" to do for agile PM is much more than just what the project manager should be doing. It includes understanding the business drivers, developing the right project management infrastructure, and nurturing a supportive project management environment. I'll also review the roles of the project manager, the project team, and management, and look at how they need to adapt to achieve agile PM.
