A REVOLUTIONARY APPROACH TO MEASURING AND MASTERING THE HUMAN SIDE OF PROJECT MANAGEMENT Based on a groundbreaking study of complex industrial projects around the world conducted by authors Edward W. Merrow and Neeraj S. Nandurdikar, Leading Complex Projects describes a revolutionary new approach to project analysis that, for the first time, succinctly measures project outcomes in terms of project leadership and associated human factors. Unlike other project analysis methodologies which tend to conceptualize post-mortem analysis exclusively in terms of goals, schedules, budgets, and other traditionally quantifiable factors, the data-driven approach described in this book: * Addresses a range of "intangible" factors, such as relationships, cultural alignment, and motivation * Develops a rigorous framework and powerful tools for quantifying human factors and their impact on project outcomes * Describes how to systematically link project leaders personalities, habits, and tasks to project outcomes to define areas for improvement * Provides a vista into the life of some of the most successful leaders of complex projects through leader profiles * Provides companies, human resources and executives a roadmap on how to identify future leaders, what to look for in them and how to provide curated experiences for the young leader's career so that they can become successful leaders of complex projects Leadership is measured in terms of results. For project managers, this means taking responsibility for project outcomes as well as having a clear plan for delivering continuous improvement going forward. An indispensable professional resource for anyone in a project management role, Leading Complex Projects for the first time arms PMs charged with leading complex, large-scale projects with a rigorous framework and a set of sophisticated tools for measuring and mastering the human side of project management.
