This paradigm-shifting book?by three project management experts, all of whom have decades of experience at NASA and elsewhere?challenges the conventional wisdom on project management, focusing on the human dimension: learning, collaboration, teaming, communication, and culture.The authors emphasize three themes: projects are fundamentally about how teams work and learn together to get things done; the local level?not an organization?s upper levels?is where the action happens; and projects don?t operate in a vacuum but exist within organizations that are responsible to stakeholders. Drawing on examples and case studies from NASA and other organizations, the authors identify three project models?micro, macro, and global?and their different knowledge needs.
