| Summary, etc | PREFACE<br/><br/>Preface<br/>The roots of this effort go back many years in our collective attempts to install standard project<br/>development methodologies into large organizations. Also, through all those years we have been<br/>involved with projects of one kind or another. Around 2003, the roots of this effort began when<br/>one of the authors joined the University of Houston to teach project management thinking that<br/>it would be an easy subject given previous experience. However, it soon became obvious that this<br/>subject was not well documented in a student readable or model-type format. As a result, students<br/>struggled to get an understandable broad real flavor of the topic. Most of the textbooks on the<br/>market were either too sterilely academic, too narrow of an industry view, or too much real world<br/>“silver bullet” quick fix advice types. Based on that assessment, the vision of correcting that shortcoming<br/>began to take shape. After four years of thrashing around with the topic, the first edition<br/>of this text resulted. Over the next 10 years, two more iterations of this effort were produced, this<br/>being the third edition. The project model term for this type of evolution is “progressive elaboration.”<br/>In plain language, that really means it can be done better and that is what this latest version<br/>has as its goal.<br/>One major content target is to stay faithful to the Project Management Institute (PMI) Project<br/>Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK•) Guide, which is considered to be the de facto standard<br/>for project management description. Beyond that, the goal is to make the verbiage readable<br/>and understandable. You as the reader will have to decide how well this effort matched these goals.<br/>The academic program at the University of Houston is heavily based on the Project<br/>Management Institute’s (PMI) model and curriculum guidelines. That bias formed the foundation<br/>for the text, but not the complete final table of contents. As packaged here, the core chapters<br/>not only stay reasonably close to the PMI model, but also attempt to show how this model fits a<br/>real-world project. In this regard, the material in the text is viewed as a companion to the technical<br/>model guide and should be of help to someone studying for various project management<br/>certifications.<br/>There are several project-related sub-model frameworks sponsored by PMI today and many of<br/>these are covered in dedicated chapters of the text. Specifically, the following six major sub-model<br/>topics are discussed in some detail:<br/>◾◾ Work Breakdown Structures (WBS)<br/>◾◾ Earned Value Management (EVM)<br/>◾◾ Enterprise project management (PMO)<br/>◾◾ Portfolio management (PPM)<br/>◾◾ Professional responsibility and ethics<br/>◾◾ Agile life cycle |
