• One of the major changes in this edition has been the introduction of Organizational Project Management in Chapter 2, including the strategic issue of governance, especially for mega-projects, as they are now called. We describe the internal stakeholders involved in each of the four phases of a project and their roles and responsibilities and conclude this discussion with a public sector example.
• Due to the increased length of Chapter 2, we cut out some of the quantitative project selection material, rewrote an example to focus on project selection, and moved the last section on Project Bids and RFPs into the section Better Cost Estimating and Bidding in Chapter 7.
• Two significant changes are the addition of a major section on Agile project management in Chapter 6 and a new Reading on the Evolution of Agile.
• Due to the increased length of Chapter 6, we moved the issues of risk planning to Chapter 7 to join the existing section there on risk simulation. Chapter 7 also has a new reading on resilience, risk, and agility.
• Chapter 7 also has a new Case on Fuddruckers project budgeting.
• We enhanced the existing case in Chapter 8, now titled Nutristar Energy, Inc.
• A new follow-on case was written for Chapter 11 based on the Chapter 10 case: The Project Manager/Customer Interface (B).
• A new section on Benefit Realization· was added in Chapter 13 to close the project in accordance with the concepts of organizational project management.
• With all the aforementioned changes, we added some new questions and moved summary items, questions, glossary items, exercises, and bibliography entries, to their new chapters.
• To supplement the new material, we added new references to the bibliography and deleted most of the older references before 1990, except for a few classics.
• In the Excel spreadsheet examples, we replaced the algebraic calculations with Excel functions.
• Finally, we updated the Dilbert cartoons.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
• 本版的一個主要變更是在第二章引入了組織專案管理,包含治理的策略性議題,特別是對於現在所稱的巨型專案。我們描述了在專案的四個階段中涉及的內部利害關係人及其角色和責任,並以一個公共部門的例子結束這一討論。
• 由於第二章的篇幅增加,我們刪減了一些定量專案選擇的內容,重寫了一個例子以專注於專案選擇,並將有關專案投標和RFP的最後一部分移至第七章的更佳成本估算與投標部分。
• 兩個重要的變更是第六章新增了一個關於敏捷專案管理的主要部分,以及一個關於敏捷演變的新閱讀材料。
• 由於第六章的篇幅增加,我們將風險規劃的議題移至第七章,以與那裡現有的風險模擬部分結合。第七章還新增了一個關於韌性、風險和敏捷性的新閱讀材料。
• 第七章還新增了一個關於Fuddruckers專案預算的案例。
• 我們增強了第八章現有的案例,現在標題為Nutristar Energy, Inc.
• 根據第十章的案例「專案經理/客戶介面(B)」,為第十一章撰寫了一個新的後續案例。
• 在第十三章新增了一個關於效益實現的部分,以根據組織專案管理的概念結束專案。
• 針對上述所有變更,我們新增了一些問題,並將摘要項目、問題、詞彙表項目、練習和參考書目條目移至其新章節。
• 為了補充新材料,我們在參考書目中新增了新的參考文獻,並刪除了大部分1990年前的舊參考文獻,僅保留少數經典作品。
• 在Excel電子表格示例中,我們用Excel函數替換了代數計算。
• 最後,我們更新了Dilbert漫畫。
