The Pragmatic Programmers The Dream Team Nightmare
Book SynopsisThis first-ever interactive Agile Adventure is the gripping tale of an experienced team struggling with agile adoption. In this unique mashup of a business novel written in the gamebook format, you'll overcome common yet daunting challenges that come from using agile methods. As Jim, the agile coach, you'll learn to apply a range of thinking tools and techniques to real-life problems faced by teams and organizations. Find out what really works and what fails miserably from the consequences of your choices. And, unlike in the real world, if at first you don't succeed, you can make different choices until you get things right. Management is ready to disband your new agile team and outsource your project. Can you save The Dream Team? The Dream Team started their journey 18 months ago. Since then, life has become a nightmare. Progress has ground to a halt. Morale is low. Quality has become taboo. You have five days to figure out how to get the team back on track. There will be conflict and maybe tears. One thing is for sure: there will be plenty of tough decisions to make. Inspired by a classic gamebook series, this fun and interactive story has eight different endings designed to enrich and put your agile development knowledge and experience to the test. Packed with familiar scenarios an agile team faces every day, The Dream Team Nightmare offers you the chance to see what would happen if you could do things differently so you can change the way you do things for real with confidence. Combining practical team-building exercises with effective facilitation and Systems Thinking, by the end of the book you'll be ready to rescue projects in trouble, and get new projects off to a better start.

Fagbokforlaget The Road to Success: Narratives and Insights from
Book SynopsisThe targeted readership of this book is project management professionals and scholars who are seeking to gain insights into the perquisites of project success. Therefore, this book was written with the following goals in mind: (1) To provide the readers with a carefully selected collection of real-life project cases from various industries and businesses. The cases give a good picture of how projects and project management are performed in Norway. (2) By building on contingency thinking, to present new insights about project success gained from analysing the cases collectively. These new insights include classification of project success factors based on project characteristics, and they also suggest that soft factors such as trust, commitment, loyalty and openness are imperative to ensure project success. (3) By using specific situations, problems, and approaches from these cases, to help communicate a more general idea, and to explain terms from project management literature that are important to understand the context and the meaning of these new insights.

Fagbokforlaget Let's Really Learn from Projects: A Study on
Book SynopsisThis book combines a literature study and the results of a longitudinal case study from the oil and gas sector the Ivar Aasen project to explore the notion of learning in project-based organizations. First, readers are provided with a thorough examination of previous research on project learning, which is presented in structured and comprehensible format. The author explores the circular relationship between learning and performance in projects and identifies the means and attitudes required to support this circular relationship both within projects and between projects. The second part of the book has a narrower focus, namely on improving the institutionalized level of learning in project-based organizations. The empirical findings are drawn from the longitudinal case study and provide some useful insights into learning in a complex and demanding environment characterized by continuous changes, extreme time pressure, a multiplicity of stakeholders, tremendous financial impact, and market uncertainty. The study is peer-reviewed and presented as an academic text.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Managing Project Ending
Book SynopsisUnderstanding project endings is a significant part of project management, yet there is relatively little work published in this important area. This book addresses the gap, focusing on the successful management of project endings, showing how to plan for the ending of a project, how to create ending competencies, and in particular, how to successfully manage relations with different stakeholders of a project as it is coming to an end. Havila and Salmi use a real-life case in the airline industry to show how the successful ending project was achieved and in doing so portray ideas and experiences not typically considered in the field. Through the case discussion, the complexity of the process is unveiled and the achievement of success for all parties is explained. The book portrays three key success factors: ending competencies, to be developed both at the organizational and individual levels; efficient management of the business network around the ending project; and involvemTrade Review"This book looks at the successful management of the premature end of one project. It uses an excellent case study and as the layers are peeled away the complexity is unveiled and the achievement of success for all parties is demonstrated. Although not couched in project management speak this is an admirable adjunct to the conventional project and programme management texts and is a recommended read for aspiring and practicing project managers."
