Product Description

Product Description

For undergraduate courses in Information Systems that include Project Management

Project Management for Information Systems is a comprehensive introduction to the design and implementation of computer-based information systems. The book combines theory, practice and advice on the role of the project leader in managing the team, the individual and the task. This book will enable the reader to plan all aspects of an IS project and to ensure that the project is implemented in a timely way and to budget. The book takes a very practical approach, which examines best practice and why projects fail.

Both students and lecturers can benefit from the textbook's excellent supplementary material, which can be found at www.booksites.net/cadle

 



From the Back Cover
Project Management For Information Systems 4th edition 

“For those studying project management for information systems, this book has no equal.”   
Roger Atkinson, Bournemouth University

Based on practical experience this book provides everything you need to get started on an IS project and to see it through to successful completion, whether you are a student of information systems and project management or a practising project manager.

Clear explanation of theory combined with the exploration of a variety of project management methodologies helps the reader develop a thorough understanding of the subject. The mixture of hard and soft topic coverage encourages the development of all the skills needed to successfully manage the team, the individual and the task. Case studies, exercises and good and bad examples from real life help the reader to start putting the theory into context and into practice.

This edition contains the most up-to-date thinking on issues such as:

  • Multinational and multicultural projects.
  • Establishing the business case for your project.
  • The latest initiatives in quality, soft systems, extreme programming and virtual teams.

Project Management for Information Systems is all you need to plan every aspect of an IS project and ensure that it is implemented on time, within budget and to quality standards.

4.0 out of 5 stars Goes beyond methodology, 16 Aug 2002
By G Evans (Carmarthenshire, Wales) - See all my reviews
I used Cadle as accompanying literature to support my ISEB certificate in project management course notes. It was invaluable for providing a bigger picture than the methodology text books could do alone. The book provides summaries questions and a case study at the end of each chapter which allows evaluation of your understanding before proceeding further. Now used as a desk companion for quick reference purposes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Useful, well structured book on difficult topic., 18 Jan 2001
Project Management for Information Systems is a core text for many degree courses in Information Systems. The book is concise, and follows through in a well written style that is easy to understand for the beginner and sufficiently in depth for the more advanced reader to benefit.

I particularly like the broad ranging references to a number of systems development methodologies, and the particular in depth discussions on the roles people assume and their interactions.

I'd recommend this book to any student studying a course in Project Management, and anyone undertaking a project of any size.

5.0 out of 5 stars Definite book for project management, 26 Jun 2003
The book deals effectively with project management. It has everything that one needs to be manageing projects; from estimation methods to team management. I used the book for my BCS Project Management module and I have no regrets for having bought the book as it helped me a lot. It is good for practising project managers as well as it deals with the issue of how to recruit your staff and how to monitor progress. Don't hesitate get it.
