Description
This book is not a typical textbook on project management nor is it a collection of real-life project cases. Although the book is written in a textbook format, it combines real-life project cases, research results from analyses of causes of success and failure in projects, and a theoretical review of key methods and terms in project management, supported by references and examples from these real-life cases. The main target group of this book is project management professionals 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 collection of real-life project cases from different types of industries and sectors, (2) to use empirical evidence from these real-life cases to facilitate understanding of essential concepts and methods in project management, and (3) to present new insights and understandings about project success gained from analysing the cases collectively.
