About this title

Synopsis

Don’t just manage a project…master it! Managing High-Technology Programs and Projects 2nd Edition As diverse as high-technology programs and projects are, there are as many factors that they hold in common, such as time and budget parameters and their multidisciplinary nature. Yet there has never been a single source that every project manager can consult to manage any kind of project, from start-up to close-out. Managing High-Technology Programs and Projects, Second Edition is just such a book. In concise yet thorough detail, it presents a practical, proven system for managing all types of programs and projects, with emphasis on high-technology projects. Illustrated with numerous forms and illustrations, plus checklists for project start-up and close-out, it offers step-by-step coverage of:

• Understanding the differences and similarities among different types of programs and projects
• Organizing the project management function
• Setting up the project team and building project commitment
• Starting up a project rapidly and efficiently
• Managing multiple projects
• Selecting project planning and scheduling software packages
• Conducting in-progress evaluations and providing product direction
• Ensuring the effective completion of the project—on time, within budget and meeting specifications
