PROJECT MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE SURVEY

The PMI® Project Management Software Survey offers an efficient way to compare and contrast the capabilities of a wide variety of project management tools. More than two hundred software tools are listed with comprehensive information on systems features, how they perform time analysis, resource analysis, cost analysis, performance analysis, and cost reporting, and how they handle multiple projects, project tracking, charting, and much more. The survey is a valuable tool to help narrow the field when selecting the best project management tools.

SUCCESSFUL INFORMATION SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION, SECOND EDITION

Successful implementation of information systems technology lies in managing the behavioral and organizational components of the process. Past data on this subject has involved mostly case studies, but this book provides practical information those implementing information systems can use now. Pinto and Millet offer practical information on “approaching the subject from a managerial, rather than a technical, perspective.” The second edition of this work covers such topics as implementation theory, prioritizing projects, implementation success and failure, critical success factors, and more!

RECIPES FOR PROJECT SUCCESS

This book is destined to become the reference book for beginning project managers, particularly those who like to cook! Practical, logically developed project management concepts are offered in easily understood terms in a lighthearted manner. They are applied to the everyday task of cooking—from simple, single dishes, such as homemade tomato sauce for pasta, made from the bottom up, to increasingly complex dishes or meals for groups that in turn require an understanding of more complex project management terms and techniques. The transistion between cooking and project management discussions is smooth, and tidbits of information provided with the recipes are interesting and humorous.

THE FUTURE OF PROJECT MANAGEMENT

The project management profession is going through tremendous change—both evolutionary and revolutionary. Some of these changes are internally driven while many are externally driven. Here, for the first time, is a composite view of some major trends occurring throughout the world and the implication of them on the profession of project management and on the Project Management Institute. Read the views of the 1998 PMI Research Program Team, a well-respected futurist firm and other authors. This book represents the beginning of a journey and through inputs from readers and others, it will continue as a work in progress.
