Drawing on a survey of practitioners and academics from around the world, Real Project Management takes an in-depth look at the challenges that arise in the growing complex and global environment. The book includes insights from leading thinkers in the world of academia and is supported by case studies of global organizations including Siemens, IBM, Thomson Reuters, Volvo, and Microsoft on the strategies they are implementing to future-proof their projects.

Chapters examine issues such as the complexity of projects, globalization and the virtual nature of projects, executive sponsoring, and international dilemmas inherent in completing a program on time and within budget. Peter Taylor provides the techniques and strategies needed to tackle these challenges head on and boost the project manager’s skills.
