Product Description
The Strategic Project Office, Second Edition (PM Solutions Research) (9781439838129): J. Kent Crawford: Books. The first edition has been the foundation for much of my thinking about initiative management, and the second edition takes thought leadership to a new level. Crawford leverages years of experience to further improve an already excellent resource. The first edition of The Strategic Project Office sits on the top shelf of my bookcase. I’m sure that the second edition will have a similar pride of place … when I haven’t loaned it out to members of my team as homework.—Paul Ritchie, PMP, Director, Global PMO, Mead Johnson Nutrition, Inc. Written for project managers, project office directors, their managers, and executives, this volume outlines the creation of a project management center and the four primary areas of knowledge and practice regarding the project management office (PMO): governance and portfolio management, resource optimization, organizational change, and performance measurement. This edition addresses research on the status and roles of today's PMO and best practices, along with new and updated information on the use of collaborative and social media tools in project management and human resources aspects of managing project personnel; new chapters on project portfolio management and aligning projects and strategy; new information on using the strategic project office as a strategy management center; and updated content reflecting the latest standards of the Project Management Institute. A CD-ROM is included.—In Research Book News, booknews.com, February 2011 Praise for the Award-Winning First Edition: … provides a primer that is first-of-a-kind and best-of-class. Read it.
