Recommendation

Advanced projects are particularly demanding because of their complexity, novelty, scale, scope, cost and logistics. Author Alan D. Orr provides a detailed and useful guide to every step of advanced project management. He leaves nothing to chance or to the imagination. The charts and spreadsheets he recommends are clearly appropriate to the purpose, and his outline of project management questions, planning milestones, team building methods and tracking tools are clear and to the point. This book belongs on the shelf of anyone managing a complex project for the first time. getAbstract.com believes even a seasoned project manager would find it useful.

Take-Aways

  • Advanced projects are complex. Develop a plan for managing all stakeholders.
  • Keep the project sponsor involved in preparing the business case.
  • "It is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission." As project manager, do not wait for approvals before acting.
