REBOOT - Iyer Ganapathy
- How to put joy back into troubled technology projects
Projects are intended to spur growth for all their constituents, be it individuals, teams or organisations and leave them in a much better state than they were before.
Technology projects form a sizeable portion of organisational project portfolios.
Yet, when they get into trouble, they can cause severe pain; some to the extent of threatening the very existence of organisations themselves.
REBOOT provides a practical, robust and guided framework to help you assess and recover a troubled technology project.
This book is filled with case studies, analogies, anecdotes and research to help you along your journey to recover a troubled project. From bees to air crashes, from cricket to the millennium dome, this book will take you on the challenging but immensely satisfying journey of putting joy back into a troubled technology project.
It is never a joy walking into a troubled project. The first 4-6 weeks into a troubled project are extremely stressful. From stakeholders up in arms to a disillusioned project team; from a schedule gone awry to a dwindling budget envelope; from the hurt of broken promises to extreme personal stress, the first few weeks of being in a troubled project are a test a project leader's character.
This book captures symptoms you see on a troubled project and then helps you go about recovering it with a 4-stage guided approach (CARE framework). The book also outlines 6 important factors to consider at each stage of the recovery and how you can use them effectively to put joy back into your project.
If you are sponsoring or leading a project that involves implementation of an enterprise software application like ERP, CRM, MDM, HRIS (HCM), this book is for you. This book aims to equip you with a framework to help recover an ailing project (or elegantly put it to rest) with care.
