Product Description

Product Description

A detailed guide to successful, efficient project management, written by two pros with a combined 55 years "in the trenches!"

Project management is a vital and growing component of many organizations and can literally make or break a company. In this step–by–step guide, two project management consultants present a comprehensive guide to effective project management, complete with real stories and case studies from actual project managers. This straightforward guide cuts through the technical jargon to present an easy–to–follow, easy–to–learn approach to executing any project from beginning to end. Project managers, as well as those who want to learn more about project management, will find this guide to be an indispensable resource for all their projects.

From the Back Cover

A simple system for managing even the most complex projects

Project management can be a real pain, but doing it right can mean the difference between a business that soars and one that sinks. Painless Project Management makes it simple by cutting through the jargon, formulas, and needless complexity with an easy, step–based approach for managing virtually any project, big or small, from beginning to end.

Veteran project managers McGhee and McAliney present a comprehensive guide to effective project management, complete with real stories and case studies from actual project managers. The authors reveal how the complexity of project management is not in the process itself, but in the people and organizational relationships that must also be managed. They boil down the basics of project management so you can design a simple, effective plan for any project and follow it through to a successful completion.

Once you do that, they show you how to handle the people and issues that make project management such a challenge, including:

  • Communicating project plans to colleagues and top management

  • Delegating, organizing, and coordinating duties

  • Tracking and reporting on project status

  • Managing resources, budgets, and timelines

  • Changing tacks and goals on the fly

  • Dealing with project disruptions

Practical Guide to Project Management 24 Aug 2007
By A. R. Wasson - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This new text by McGhee and McAliney is very readable and straightforward. It is a great resource to introduce practically-oriented project management into an organization, especially one that is adverse to complex textbooks. Interspersed within the text are very good and illuminating case studies that reinforce key teaching points within the text. Clearly, this text is an excellent resource for the inexperienced project manager and a good refresher for the experienced project manager.
Outstanding Product Management Book 6 Aug 2007
By G. Schwartz - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
As a management consultant, McGhee and McAliney's presentation of project management makes sense - very simple, straight forward and, most important, jargon free. This can be the best friend for front line and mid level managers who have been tasked by their organizations to manage a project - or multiple projects - and need a place to start. Painless Project Management is the playbook they can use to be successful.
