Managing It Projects for Business Change: From Risk to Success

This book will empower experienced project managers and their business counterparts to understand and manage the risks of challenging business change projects. It does this by focusing on setting projects up for success and emphasising the importance of understanding the business context.

Providing principles and guidance that can be adapted and applied to different situations, it will show project managers and owners how to guide difficult projects home when mere excellence of technique or blind adherence to procedures would leave them at sea. REVIEWS "An excellent resource for practitioners reflecting good practice in managing projects […]. This much needed and well thought out book should enable managers and team members to improve their track record in delivering large business change projects." Professor Darren Dalcher, Director, National Centre for Project Management; Professor, University of Hertfordshire Business School – "This book will get experienced project managers to the next level, showing them what they need to do to build a platform for success, then keep the project on track. If you've mastered the basics, got some battle scars, and want to succeed with bigger challenges, this is the book for you." Charles Change, FBCS CITP– "Managing projects, particularly ICT projects is a subjective, hands-on process. Who better to write a book on this important topic than two guys who have seen the inside of many successful and some not so successful projects. They do not attempt to document a prescription for success, but offer clear guidelines for decision making at critical times. Readers will gain much by reading this book before, during and after a project journey." W. G. (Bill) Hewett, FACS CP, Indepedent IT and Services Professional
