Über diesen Titel

Críticas

"A unique and valuable addition to project management literature....He uses references from popular films and cartoons to illuminate points in an engaging and memorable way. In so doing, Dobson has produced a text that speaks to today's professionals in today's language, communicating information and knowledge that will aid the leap from technical worker to technical leader."

"Dobson focuses more on the psychology of techies-cum-managers. Many, be says, suffer from 'promotion grief' and are reluctant to take control. The exercises and case studies featured here, along with hands-on advice, hammer home fundamental principles. An intriguing complement to more traditional IT management guides; this is suitable for all libraries."

Reseña del editor

Are you an accidental manager? Dobson's new book is the resource for technical professionals who suddenly discover that the skills which have made them successful aren't necessarily relevant in their new role as project manager. Dobson covers management strategies for all technical professionals by combining solid information and extensive documentation with humor and perspective. He takes a ground-up approach to effective management, assuming that the reader has no previous exposure or academic background, but is suddenly responsible for getting the job done! And this book works both ways. It's a guide to the emotional challenge of management, a glossary to key terms and concepts, and a handbook for dealing with Generation-X professionals and ageism--all in one book. Remember...effective leadership starts within. Only through complete and honest self-assessment can you develop an action plan that sparks growth and achievement. Project Management for the Technical Professional not only helps you begin the journey, but it also brings you through to the end--successfully.
