Why do some project managers achieve their project goals while others fail? Drawing on his years of experience as a recognized global expert on project management and organizational change, author Tres Roeder answers that question, and lays out a proven path to project success. Focusing on the major differences between project management and other types of management - not least of them being the temporary nature of projects versus the repetitive nature of most managerial tasks - Roeder describes best practices in all key areas of managing project stakeholders.
