Project Management
There is an excellent book from O'Reilly about project management: The Art of Project Management (April 2005, ISBN: 0-596-00786-8, 400 pages, $39.95 US). It is a new approach, more technical, less theoretical and not entirely PMBoK oriented. Very interesting. There is a sample chapter available on-line: Chapter 3: How to figure out what to do (PDF).If you are a Amazon fan, like me, you can find it here. Talking about Amazon, read part of "Editorial Review" section:
"In The Art of Project Management, you'll learn from a veteran manager of software and web development how to plan, manage and lead projects. This personal account of hard lessons learned over a decade of work in the industry distills complex concepts and challenges into practical nuggets of useful advice. Inspiring, funny, honest, and compelling, this is the book you and your team need to have within arms reach. It will serve you well with your current work, and on future projects to come.
Topics include:
- How to make things happen
- Making good decisions
- Specifications and requirements
- Ideas and what to do with them
- How not to annoy people
- Leadership and trust
- The truth about making dates
- What to do when things go wrong..."
