From one of today's leading project management experts comes the first resource of its kind-a multi-disciplinary method for handling the largest, or the most complex projects in business today. All too often, we're carrying out projects that come with high levels of complexity or uncertainty, and conflicting or unstated expectations from stakeholders. The authors of this groundbreaking guide refer to such projects as "fuzzy projects." In Managing Fuzzy Projects in 3D, project management guru Lavagnon Ika and organizational strategy expert Jan Saint-Macary walk you through a three-pronged approach for successfully managing such projects: * Addressing the constraints of time, cost, and quality * Assessing the needs and expectations of sponsors and other stakeholders * Applying a proven psychosocial approach to deal with the human aspects of the project and its team The authors provide a multi-disciplinary approach to project management (Ika's area of expertise) and organizational strategy (Saint-Macary's area of expertise). They draw on several examples, shedding light on why even well-managed projects can fail to meet business case and strategic expectations, and showing how their methods work in the real world. Throughout, they provide illustrative case studies, including Boston's "Big Dig," the Golden Gate Bridge, the Ford Edsel, Olympic Games, Indian Tata Nano Car, Microsoft Campus Renovation Project, the U.S. moon mission, and Apple iPhone. In addition, they provide specific questions you can ask stakeholders in order to build clarity from the start of the project. With Managing Fuzzy Projects in 3D, you have everything you need to successfully guide the most complex, unclear projects beginning to end.
