Background

This course is based on Dr. Wu’s recent book, Optimizing Project Management (CRC Press, May 2020).  Here is what he has to say about the book:

“As a project executive and a management consultant for the past 25 years, I have seen a proliferation of project management methodologies. By 2020, there are so many methods ranging from Scrum to XP to Waterfall that it often cause confusions not just for the beginners but for everyone.  Worse, some of these methods undermine the need for thorough planning and embrace the idea of speed and flexibility.  While these are important, the world is far more complex than any single factor.  Thus, the idea for this book slowly developed. Instead of chasing the latest and the greatest method, I believe we already have many of the answers – we just need to look.  Hence my newest book, Optimizing Project Management, is a embrace of what worked through the ages and blend them with a consultative view toward optimizing the whole, not just the parts. Look, the world of project is VUCA and no one method can solve them all. By embracing the good practices and asking the good questions, project professionals can prepare for the good fight and deliver meaningful results.“
