PREFACE
The future of many organizations depends on their ability to harness the power of
information technology, and good project managers continue to be in high demand.
Colleges have responded to this need by establishing courses in project management
and making them part of the information technology, management, engineering, and
other curricula. Corporations are investing in continuing education to help develop
effective project managers and project teams. This text provides a much-needed
framework for teaching courses in project management, especially those that
emphasize managing information technology projects. The first six editions of this
text were extremely well received by people in academia and the workplace. The
Seventh Edition builds on the strengths of the previous editions and adds new,
important information and features.
It’s impossible to read a newspaper, magazine, or Web page without hearing about
the impact of information technology on our society. Information is traveling faster
and being shared by more people than ever before. You can buy just about anything
online, surf the Web on a mobile phone, or use a wireless Internet connection at your
local coffee shop. Companies have linked their systems together to help them fill
orders on time and better serve their customers. Software companies are continually
developing new products to help streamline our work and get better results. When
technology works well, it is almost invisible. But did it ever occur to you to ask,
“Who makes these complex technologies and systems happen?”
Because you’re reading this text, you must have an interest in the “behind-the-
scenes” aspects of technology. If I’ve done my job well, you’ll begin to see the many
innovations society is currently enjoying as the result of thousands of successful
information technology projects. In this text, you’ll read about IT projects around the
world that went well, including Mittal Steel Poland’s Implementation of SAP that uni-
fied IT systems to improve business and financial processes; Dell Earth and other
green computing projects that save energy and millions of dollars; Six Sigma projects
such as the project to improve case load management at Baptist St. Anthony’s
Hospital in Amarillo, Texas; the systems infrastructure project at the Boots Company
in the United Kingdom that takes advantage of supplier competition to cut costs and
improve services; and many more. Of course, not all projects are successful. Factors
such as time, money, and unrealistic expectations, among many others, can sabotage
a promising effort if it is not properly managed. In this text, you’ll also learn from the
mistakes made on many projects that were not successful. I have written this book in
an effort to educate you, tomorrow’s project managers, about what will help make a
project succeed—and what can make it fail. You’ll also see how projects are used in
everyday media, such as television and film, and how companies use best practices in
project management. Many readers tell me how much they enjoy reading these real-
world examples in the What Went Right?, What Went Wrong?, Media Snapshot, and
Best Practice features. As practitioners know, there is no “one size fits all” solution to

Het geloei der ossen is verstomd, en het rinkelen der metalen
bellen heeft nu opgehouden. De duiven hebben hun nest opgezocht,
en het weemoedig gezang van den Kaffer wordt niet meer gehoord.
Als een profeet der oudheid, zoo staat hij daar, de godvreezende,
onversaagde Voortrekker. Zijn grijze lokken blinken als zilver in het
licht der maan.
"Kom, Anna," zegt hij, "'t is reeds laat; wij gaan naar binnen."
Transcriber's Notes:
Dit boek bevat een aantal zetfouten.
De volgende zetfouten zijn gecorrigeerd:
[het trouwe dier lekt zijn handen] → [het trouwe dier likt zijn
handen]
[en stijgt uit het zaal.] → [en stijgt uit het zaâl.]
deze fout komt nog 2x voor (zie hieronder. De correcte vorm, "zaâl",
is dialect voor "zadel".
[hij uit het zaal sprong.] → [hij uit het zaâl sprong.]
[rondbortigheid.] → [rondborstigheid.]
