Найти книгу: "The Effective Project Manager"

This book doesn&#39;t offer a 10-step plan for a successful project management career because no plan can possibly address every project contingency. This book is a necessary guide for any coordinator of people and projects. You may be a planner, thinker, strategist, project manager, business owner, executive leader, business analyst, athletic coach, parent or simply an individual curious about ways to become more effective at work. Any way you slice it, you&#39;ll benefit from reading this book.<br><br>The Effective Project Manager explains in easy-to-understand terms what you need to do in order to become the best project manager you can be&mdash;an Effective Project Manager (EPM). The key themes of this book include time management, people management and thoughtful production of work that matters. <br><br>You need to be able to tell what work is the most important during any given hour spent on the job. You&#39;ll learn how to accomplish this task by better understanding people and organizations. You&#39;ll get people to tell you things by listening, planning and leading. You&#39;ll turn into a doer who can handle any situation thrown at you. You&#39;ll learn how to organize your thoughts and structure your planning process by using mind maps and pictures. You&#39;ll find out how to track progress easily and give your teams proven processes to use. Finally, you&#39;ll learn the common traits that all EPMs share.<br><br>The book is split into two parts. Part 1 focuses on how to manage yourself and includes tools that will help you become more effective in both your professional and personal life. Part 2 focuses on how to manage others. If you can manage yourself and manage others effectively, then you can lead almost any project.

Planning, preparing, scheduling, and executing SAP test cycles is a time-consuming and resource-intensive endeavor that requires participation from several project members. SAP projects are prone to have informal, ad-hoc test approaches that decrease the stability of the production environment and tend to increase the cost of ownership for the SAP system. Many SAP project and test managers cannot provide answers for questions such as how many requirements have testing coverage, the exit criteria for a test phase, the audit trails for test results, the dependencies and correct sequence for executing test cases, or the cost figures for a previously executed test cycle. Fortunately, through established testing techniques predicated on guidelines and methodologies (i.e., ASAP SAP Roadmap methodology, IBM’s Ascendant methodology, and Deloitte’s ThreadManager methodology), enforcement of standards, application of objective testing criteria, test case automation, implementation of a requirements traceability matrix (RTM), and independent testing and formation of centralized test teams, many of the testing risks that plague existing or initial SAP programs can be significantly reduced. This book is written for SAP managers, SAP consultants, SAP testers, and team leaders who are tasked with supporting, managing, implementing, and monitoring testing activities related to test planning, test design, test automation, test tool management, execution of test cases, reporting of test results, test outsourcing, planning a budget for testing activities, enforcing testing standards, and resolving defects.

Это пособие не полная методика по управлению проектами и не учебник по всем функциям Microsoft Project 2010. Хотя таких книг не на английском пока нет. Очень часто мне приходилось наблюдать почти шоковое состояние менеджеров, которые были незнакомы ранее с Microsoft Project и теорией управления проектами от PMI и/или IPMA и решили изучить их по книгам.
