Managing Projects in Organizations
Virtually every manager and staff professional in today's organization is asked at some point to take charge of a large or small project and see it through to completion. Organizations of all sizes constantly set up special projects to solve problems or meet new organizational needs, whether implementing office automation, conducting marketing research for a new product, designing new training programs, developing an information management system, or arranging company-wide conferences. Yet few resources are available to guide managers and staff in meeting the unique challenges involved in managing a project.

This new book is a comprehensive, practical guide to managing large and small projects of all types. J. Davidson Frame draws on his own practical experience in managing projects in private industry, as well as on the latest research on project management tools and techniques, to detail how to avoid the common pitfalls all special projects face and explain the management strategies that lead to successful project completion. Using numerous case examples as illustrations, Frame shows how to
* Identify potential problems early on so they don't erupt into disastrous surprises later
* Work within organizational constraints to obtain needed human and material resources
* Manage the inevitable politics every projects faces
* Secure cooperation from project team members and others in the organization
* Focus the project on meeting real needs and keep everyone on track in meeting project goals
* Allocate available resources wisely and keep the project on schedule and within the budget

He offers practical advice that all managers, consultants, organization development specialists, research and development professionals, information system analysts, and others can use in manageing projects of all types.
