Description
A concise guide to the top 50 IT project management challenges and how to overcome them. Project management forums highlight many of the challenges project managers face. Unclear requirements, scope creep and undefined roles are well-trodden issues that can derail a project. Other challenges are less obvious, often more subtle, but equally destructive.

Broken down into 50 easy-to-digest chapters, the authors draw on years of practical experience to outline these challenges, and offer useful tips and advice on how to deal with them. Condensing much of the information and advice found in project-management-related books and discussion forums, this book enables readers to be better equipped to respond to key project management challenges; it is, therefore, an ideal reference for anyone involved in IT project management.
