The stories of accomplishment achieved through project management offer practical guidance on how to accomplish mission-critical tasks. Anyone in government will find important insights and much value in this material.
This book is a must-read for government project managers and executives. Within the framework of culture, systems, and structure, the authors provide a suprising amount of genuinely useful, easy-to-read information. They integrate
key perspectives from project management leaders at several agencies - a veritable who's who in the world
of federal project management. The book is current and timele, addressing the ramifications of ARRA and the new
FAC-P/PM certification.
The authors have distilled a remarkably complex topic into meaningful, digestible pieces that will contribute to the advancement of project management in the federal government. As a taxpayer, it is refreshing to see that significant and important progress continues to be made.
This groundbreaking book presents the success stories, the works in progress, the rationale for continued maturation, and the essential components for successful projects in the federal government, the largest single enterprise in the world. Don’t start a complex project in the federal space without consulting this book. It is genius!
I highly recommend this book as a valuable resource for current and future government project managers. The authors capture the particular skills required to manage projects in the government and provide important insights.
