In a global world, software development projects concern more and more people working in various locations or coming from different organizations and culture. Managing these projects requires thinking beyond the traditional project management techniques to integrate these additional global dimensions and deal with the new issues that they create. This book helps project managers to think about this situation by proposing a detailed framework dealing with the team, communication, organization, tools and techniques dimensions of global projects. Every chapter has a good balance between conceptual material and real life examples. Many checklists and models are proposed to help assessing the global aspects of specific situations. The author invites also the reader to think how the current topic is handled in his organization. Finally, the book provides many pointers to additional literature that could help a reader to get more knowledge on a particular topic.

Jean Binder engages the fundamental issues Project Manager's encounter when your office walls rest on the 4-corners of the globe. This is international Project Management at its best, reining in complex/massive issues in a manner that is reliable, predicable and business process as it should be.

This is a how-to book illustrating what works from applied time-honored practices to forward-thinking advances.

It is no wonder that this book won Project Management Institute's (PMI) "David Cleland Project Management Literature Award 2008". Read more by visiting the website highlighting this growing topic and guidebook:
