    About this ebook

    Insurance/Financial IT executive says: you clearly paint what success looks like and call out solid characteristics of structure/rigor within the discipline.

    VP of Technology at digital publisher says: I have found this book to be a valuable resource as Dr. Houseworth has made the complex subject of project management very approachable. His many examples, slogans and other techniques help the reader quickly grasp and remember key project management concepts. Throughout the book Dr. Houseworth has distributed little gems of insight that are practical and can immediately be applied. I wholeheartedly recommend this book.

    In todays competitive environment, you can no longer fail to meet organizational objectives; if you do, someone else will take your place. Thats why you need to add value by successfully completing projects on time.
    Author Dr. Steve Houseworth, a certified project management professional, provides a step-by-step plan that makes it a cinch to get the job done right the first time around. By sharing practical case studies, he helps executives improve project management skills.
    Go beyond typical project management theory and discover ways to
    set up and protect projects so they succeed;
    use exercises, slogans, and customized tools to influence work culture;
    facilitate processes effectively so that work gets done faster and better;
    understand whats important to executives in order to wield influence.
    Youll understand both how projects work and how executives can support project success. Work smarter, and take steps to improve performance with Project Management for Executives.
