Description

This is a collection of essays from key researchers in the field of project management who describe what they feel are the most impactful findings from research.

In the challenging and competitive world of project management, project managers need all the insight they can get.

Leading researchers share what they believe are the most important findings from the research being done today.

These cover such pressing topics confronting project managers as hybrid methodologies, schedule overrun and schedule estimation, project efficiency, and managing local stakeholders.

Highlights include the following:Jeff Pinto and Kate Davis explore the “Normalization of Deviance” (NoD) phenomenon within various organizational settings, focusing on projects.

NoD involves the gradual acceptance of deviant practices, diverging from established norms, and often leading to detrimental outcomes. Francesco Di Maddaloni investigates how local communities’ stakeholders are perceived, identified, and categorized by project managers in major public infrastructure and construction projects (MPIC).

His chapter helps project managers to have a better understanding of a more inclusive and holistic approach to engage with a broader range of stakeholders. Lavagnon Ika, Peter Love, and Jeff Pinto suggest that error and bias combine to exact a toll on major projects and offers theoretical insights and outlines practical recommendations for project managers. Jonas Söderlund offers managerial guidelines for leveraging deadlines as powerful tools for generating project success. Pedro M. Serrado looks at empirical studies that link planning quality to project success, emphasizing its importance.

He also discusses the downsides of excessive planning, particularly in dynamic environments and research and development projects.
