Seller: Crappy Old Books, Barry, United Kingdom
Condition: Used. Successful Project Management (2000) Trevor L. Young ? Kogan Page ISBN: 0749433078 Condition: Used (unlike your team?s habit of reinventing the wheel) At last: Successful Project Management , the 2000-era professional self-help book for people who have discovered that ?just winging it? is not, technically, a methodology. Written by Trevor L. Young and now available in Used condition from Crappy Old Books , this is the guide that promises to transform your chaotic workplace circus into something vaguely resembling a functioning project. Will it make your stakeholders reasonable? No. Will it stop scope creep? Also no. Will it give you enough diagrams, checklists, and calm, managerial wisdom to at least pretend you?re in control? Absolutely. Inside this sensibly structured volume you?ll find: Gantt charts that look beautifully logical, right up until reality shows up. Risk registers that politely acknowledge the possibility of disaster without screaming. Resource planning, which assumes that holidays, sick days and ?Dave just left the company? are rare exceptions, not your weekly reality. Earned value and monitoring strategies for those who like their panic quantified in tables and graphs. This is from that wonderful pre-Agile era, where project management was very sure it could be done with orderly processes, robust documentation, and the firm belief that people read emails properly. It?s the sort of book that uses phrases like ?clear objectives,? ?agreed milestones,? and ?effective communication? with a straight face, as if those things ever coexist in the wild. Now, about this particular copy, as bravely offered by Crappy Old Books : Condition: Used means this book has already seen some projects. Possibly yours. You can expect: A cover that shows light scuffing and the faint look of having been dropped into a laptop bag with too many cables and at least one passive-aggressive notebook. A spine with dignified creases, evidence that someone once turned to Chapter 7: ?Controlling the Project? with the hopeful desperation of a person whose timeline just slipped a quarter. Pages that may have gently yellowed, like they?ve sat on a shelf for a few years watching the rise and fall of methodologies with a knowing smile. You might also discover: Occasional underlining or margin notes such as ?HA!? or ?tell that to Finance? Consider these field annotations from a previous Project Management Survivor. A slightly softened feel that lets it lie open on your desk while you stare at it, wondering how your project managed to go wrong in a way not covered by any known framework. A subtle aura of coffee, dry office air, and long-forgotten flipchart sessions. This is not a shiny, untouched textbook destined to live a sterile life on a corporate bookshelf. This is a working manual with mileage. Someone has already read it in the dim fluorescent light of a meeting room while waiting for the one crucial person who?s ?just logging on now.? Perfect for: New project managers who still believe things will happen when people say they will. Experienced project managers who know better but enjoy the comforting illusion of structure. Freelancers, consultants, and accidental project leads who were told, ?Just take ownership of this? and have been quietly panicking ever since. Anyone who likes the idea of a guidebook that says ?successful? on the cover, even if your main project goal right now is ?make it to Friday without a fire drill.? With this Crappy Old Books copy of Successful Project Management , you?re not just getting a framework. You?re inheriting a slightly weary, gently dog-eared companion that?s already survived at least a few deadlines, a reorganisation, and a budget review that can only be described as ?hostile.? Will it fix your project? Not by itself. Will it make you feel marginally more equipped while everything unravels around you? Oh, very much so. Clip on your ID badge, open to the chapter on planning, and let Trevor L. Young reassure you that in theory, at least, this can be done. Seller Inventory # 426
