Managing Complex Projects

Managing complex projects not only takes know-how on the part of project managers, but it also requires that they be willing and able to adapt to change, harness their ability to innovate at a moment's notice, and summon their determination to see a job to completion. This is the book that makes sense out of the complexities that plague today's project managers. It clearly lays out a blueprint to demystify what can be an overwhelming process into manageable strategies that, if cultivated, become second nature.

Based on principles set forth in the bestselling Project Management: A Systems Approach to Planning, Scheduling, and Controlling, Tenth Edition, this easy-to-follow guide will revolutionize the way you view and practice project management. It introduces the acclaimed Kerzner Approach^®, demonstrating how it empowers you with the skills needed to ensure that projects are completed successfully. Most importantly, it shows you how to manage complex projects more effectively.
