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 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 makes it easier to navigate the content. Concrete action guidelines for specific target groups and a continuous project example facilitate practical implementation. Various approaches—from phase-oriented to agile and of course hybrid—highlight the unique characteristics of projects across different industries, types, and sizes, and are critically evaluated. This work, with its continuous example, is an ideal preparation for individual certifications that are up to date. Detailed appendices and references, a comprehensive keyword index, and review questions enhance the learning experience.
