L'art du Management de Projet
O'REILLY
ISBN: 2-84177-420-1
Le management de projet revêt une importance capitale dans la réalisation de projets technologiques complexes impliquant de nombreux acteurs. La capacité à manager une équipe et à la guider vers le succès s'est imposée ces dernières années comme une science en soi. Tous les projets d'envergure, si on veut qu'ils aboutissent, doivent s'appuyer sur des méthodologies et des savoir-faire bien identifiés.

L'ouvrage de Scott Berkun couvre tous les aspects d'un projet informatique : de la spécification des besoins à la fin du projet, en passant par la conception, la réalisation et la validation du produit développé. L'ouvrage couvre les aspects organisationnels et humains.

Les enseignements contenus dans cet ouvrage dépassent largement le domaine informatique, que l'auteur connaît particulièrement bien en tant que chef de projet confirmé. Leur caractère transversal et leur portée très générale, applicables à tout domaine, vous permettront d'envisager avec sérénité le projet sur lequel vous travaillez ou d'identifier et d'analyser les erreurs commises par le passé? Oui, il est possible de terminer un projet dans les temps, dans la bonne humeur, sans « exploser » le budget et avec une équipe entière et soudée.

Avant d'agir, ils ont simplement pris le temps de se poser les bonnes questions. Celles qui précèdent la rédaction du business plan. Celles que se posent les investisseurs et les dirigeants pour choisir les meilleurs projets.
Ce guide propose une méthode éprouvée pour réduire la probabilité d'échec de n'importe quel projet. En modélisant le processus pour passer de l'idée au plan d'action, il banalise toutes les étapes du succès. Il vous permet ainsi de valider votre idée, de tester la faisabilité de votre projet, d'obtenir l'adhésion et le soutien dont vous avez besoin.

A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (3rd edition)
Project Management Institute, USA
ISBN: 193069995-6
It's hard to imagine a time when A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) wasn't around. Yet, just twenty years ago, PMI volunteers first sat down to distill the project management body of knowledge. Their hard work eventually became the PMBOK® Guide, now considered one of the most essential tools in the profession and is the de facto global standard for the industry. With more than a million copies of the PMBOK® Guide-2000 Edition in use, PMI has received numerous positive comments and suggestions for improvements. Methodical updates occur on a four-year cycle to ensure PMI's commitment to continually improve and revise the information contained in this essential reference manual. So how do you make the best even better? PMI is doing this by once again setting the bar higher and raising the level of information included. Users will find a number of changes when they upgrade from the PMBOK® Guide-2000 Edition. One of the most important changes is the criteria for included information, which evolved from "generally accepted on most projects, most of the time" to "generally recognized as good practice on most projects, most of the time." Unique to the PMBOK® Guide-Third Edition is the increased clarity and emphasis on processes, including highlighting that the five Process Groups are the key to the management of projects. Efforts also have been made to ensure better consistency of material within and between chapters and to make sure that all figures and tables throughout have been updated for clarity and completeness. Furthermore, an expanded index and glossary reflect the changes that the project management industry has seen during the four years since the previous edition. As the updated official standard of the world's leading project management organization, PMBOK® Guide.
