The Wiley Guide to Project Organization and Project Management Competencies

Much of project management writing addresses only the basics of time, cost, and scope management (or people and organizational issues) and fails to address the day-to-day nuances that become so important in practice.  The reality is that there is far more than this to managing projects successfully.  The Wiley Guides to Project Management contain not only well-known and wisely used basic project management practices but also new, cutting-edge concepts in the broader theory and practice of managing projects.  The series will consist of edited guides, each devoted to a sub-topic area under the umbrella of Project Management.  The first four volumes will cover: Project, Program, and Portfolio Management;  Project Control; Organization and Project Management Competencies; and Project Technology Management, Supply Chain, and Procurement.  Other books will be added as needed.  Each volume will be edited by Peter W. G. Morris, & Jeffrey K. Pinto and will contain 300 to 400 pages, with 12 to 15 contributions drawn from both academia and industry.  The books will address critical, need-to-know information that will help professionals successfully manage projects in most businesses and help students learn the best practices of the industry. This third book in the series, Organization and Project Management Competencies, focuses on human factors, project management bodies of knowledge, professionalization of the project management function, and the project management maturity model.
