The Naked Project Manager

Cover: The Naked Project Manager
Language: English  · Cover: Paperback  · 1st edition, July 2012  · 350 pages
Is it a novel? A comic? A text book? A how-to manual? "The Naked Project Manager" is all those things and much more. Step-by-step, it guides the reader through the complex maze of project management, from project check to project follow-up. Author, Roland Ottmann, explains project management interrelationships in an entertaining and informative style, points out the common hidden pitfalls and provides useful tips and advice that project managers will benefit from in their everyday work. Each of the chapters finishes up with an ironic and humorous summary. More importantly, the author never forgets the people factor in projects, including their fears, weaknesses and propensity to making mistakes. For example, he gives the reader detailed insights into his decades of project experience in the chapters on stress management, management skills and team work.

The book is suitable for project management novices and for readers with project management experience who want to extend their knowledge. It is also the perfect reference book for project managers preparing for certifications such as the CertPMr (IAPM) who want fast, effective and interesting learning material. This is one of the reasons why the IAPM International Association of Project Managers has named it "Book of the Year".

A Project Manager's Life

What connects our everyday life with project management and what in turn is the intersection of project management and philosophy, the big campaigns or science? Dr. Roland Ottmann, who has been active in project work and in renowned project management associations for more than 25 years, gives us an insight into his search for answers. In the form of humorous essays, he processes his personal notes and diary entries and gives the reader an insight into his thoughts and impressions on life in general and project management in particular. The reader learns about the hurdles a project management trainer sometimes has to overcome, about the wonderfully amusing description of the birth of his daughter, about his opinion on economics and politics, on fraud and doping. "Der ProjektManager und Fräulein Sophie" is neither a technical book, nor a textbook, nor a novel, nor a biography, and yet it is a little bit of everything. Ottmann's essays are repeatedly interspersed with quotations and experiences of other people, who are introduced in an index of persons after each chapter. Caesar, Einstein, Seneca, Kant, Montessori or Tucholsky - the author interweaves his texts with the great poets and thinkers, philosophers and sovereigns, but also with people from our time, and thus teaches a piece of history at the same time. "Der ProjektManager und Fräulein Sophie" is a book for project managers who want to look at their work from a new perspective and get one or two practical tips, but also for all those unfamiliar with project management who just love stories from life.
