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.

* Contributes toward the fulfillment of the continuing education required every three years to maintain PMP® accreditation

About the Author 227
Index 229
"Lots of project management books teach how to deliver
project objectives on-time and within budget. But very
few teach how to manage the critical stakeholder
dimension. This is the best that I've seen
because it provides common-sense tools and tips for turning your
stakeholders into raving fans". --Terry Schmidt,
PMP & SMP, Founder, ManagementPro.com; author, Strategic
Project Management Made Simple: Practical Tools for Leaders and
Teams
"Mission driven organizations like The Centers for
Families and Children depend on internal and/or external project
managers that can successfully lead and manage all the stakeholders
involved in creating, designing and executing key strategic
projects. As we all know firsthand, it's the people
involved and impacted by the project, "the
stakeholders," that will make or break an
organization's ability to successfully implement a strategic
project. Tres Roeder's book Managing Project
Stakeholdersprovides clear, actionable techniques and tools
required to effectively "managing the stakeholders." It
is a must read for all of us managing multiple stakeholders in
order to effectively implement a project on time and on
budget."--Bernadette M. Kerrigan, Chief Talent
