Broad Industry Project Management. Enzo Frigenti and Dennis Comninos have consulted to industry before writing this book. They have extensive practical experience, and they command wide respect. They have managed a large range of project types, including ones as soft as social change in third world countries.
I have had the privilege of attending a course by Dennis Comninos, and I have seen the practical wisdom in the authors' approach. After starting to read the book, I find that wisdom repeated.
Frigenti and Comninos bring their experience to bear in this book, in which they discuss an organisation-wide application of project management principles. The case studies in the book will at times seem autobiographical to anyone involved in project management, especially in organisations with limited project management maturity.
A simplistic approach to project management (one which the book avoids) involves transferring techniques from construction projects to softer areas such as IT and expecting the process to work.
From page 129: Because of its strong focus on results or objectives, ODPM [Objective Directed Project Management] can be and is being effectively used to plan and manage 'fuzzy' projects that do not respond well to the more scientific project management tools, techniques and processes. Such 'fuzzy' projects commonly exist in business, information technology, human resources and culture change or transformation projects.
I strongly recommend this book. Even the case studies will alert you to possible unforseen problems when you are planning a project.
