Product Description
Product Description
Successful projects are the basis for a successful company, but many professionals lack the basic skills required to manage projects successfully. "The Project Management Toolkit" guides readers through each of the four key life-cycle stages that lead to effective project management. Focused on successful project delivery in the engineering, industrial and process sectors, the books are aligned to the standard PMP (Project Management Professional) body of knowledge from the PMI and APM project management organisations and develop the PM knowledge that career project managers and those who only intermittently lead projects will be expected to use.The books tailor these tools to meet the particular challenges faced in these sectors, which can vary considerably from the needs of the IT, customer or financial services projects that are routinely covered in other guides. Each book can be used as a stand alone guide or be combined to provide a complete and powerful PM resource. "Get Up and Running on your Project Quickly and Effectively" books focus one step at a time on the needs of engineering, industrial and process projects for career project managers and those involved with project intermittently. This series provides practical, hands-on guides for those tasked with capital, product development or operational projects, aligned with the industry-standard PMP body of knowledge. The books are accompanied by online project planning and delivery tools, templates, workflow organizers and data sheets, plus check-lists, case studies and copious expert know-how.

The following review is from a confidential client who assessed the usefulness of each of the books in the series for their team of experienced PMs (this client employed a team of high level career PMs who have an in-house PM Standard available):
This is a more in-depth view of the first and last lifecycle stages & to my mind (for our needs) is the best book of the three reviewed (the other two being Project Management Toolkit & Real Project Planning). It builds on chapters 3-6 of the Project Management Toolkit. There are a number of Handy Hints at the end of each chapter.
Chapter 1 is a general introduction taking the reader from benefits definitions, through specification & onto realisation. Chapter 2 covers organisational issues (and) a useful checklist to identify changes in the business landscape.
Chapter 3 on the benefits concept uses Fishbone & Pareto. It has a good mapping tool & stakeholder matrix. Chapter 4 on benefits specification links scope to benefits. Chapter 5 talks about hard and soft benefits & how to write a business case. Chapter 6 is on benefits realisation. There is a useful benefits tracking tool that I will try to use & a "Kano" Customer Satisfaction Analysis Tool.
Chapters 7 to 11 have a number of useful case studies.
I think this is a book that could be usefully read by all (our) PMs especially to develop their business as opposed to PM skills.

As a Project Manager how many times have you delivered the 'perfect project' only to discover that the business wanted something else? All Project Managers claim to be supreme communicators but this book illustrates we have long way to go sometimes. If you are struggling to make your business case read this book and try again.
Format:Paperback
As one of the authors, I want to share comments from colleagues in industry.
Delivering technology is increasingly about delivering benefit to the business. This book provides a useful frame of reference to make you think about the benefits piece and specifically how you can establish, link and track those benefits
