Ganzheitliches Projektmanagement

Working on projects has become an integral part of everyday business and affects everyone. Well-known and lesser-known failed or delayed projects testify to deficits that an agile approach aims to address. However, there is often a lack of engagement with useful and meaningful organizational regulations that support the embedding of project work, in order to meet changing project requirements and facilitate organizational learning on the path to agility. The close relationship between environment, strategy, structure, and culture is often overlooked. A process-oriented overall model of project management clarifies the interconnections and facilitates content orientation. Concrete action guidelines for specific target groups and a consistent project example ease practical implementation. Various approaches—ranging from phase-oriented to agile and, of course, hybrid—highlight the characteristics of projects from different industries, types, and sizes and are critically evaluated. This work, with its consistent example, is an ideal preparation for individual certifications that are up to date. Detailed appendices and references, a comprehensive keyword index, and review questions facilitate learning.
