商品描述

A concise, authoritative guide to twenty-first-century telecom project management

As the telecommunications industry experiences ongoing rapid change, projects remain the driver of the industry's evolution. Projects continue to be crucial to the success of the companies offering products and services in this area. Written by a prominent leader in the field, this pocket guide provides an overview of the telecommunications environment as it has evolved over the past few years, illustrating the need for project management and providing a basic understanding of project management concepts. Going beyond standard processes and techniques to address the special—and changing—needs of the telecom industry, the book then demonstrates the application of project management best practices in the field.

Beginning with a clear definition of a project and an outline of the players involved, the guide then helps you set your project and business objectives (and explains why they are not always the same). It explains how to analyze your project's scope and manage procurement. Next, various aspects of project risks are reviewed, along with communications requirements. From here, you'll delve into some of the core concepts of project management—building and maintaining a schedule, managing the costs, and keeping on top of developments. Then the task of managing people is explored, addressing management styles, team building, leadership, workloads, and rewards.

The guide illustrates, via sample projects, the application of project management—as advocated by the Project Management Institute—to the special needs of the telecom industry. The chapters work through three telecom projects from different corporate perspectives: the first involves the introduction of a new wireless technology, which will allow telecom services to remote cities using fourth-generation cellular technology; the second evolves an existing landline network from circuit switched to IP-based, delivering Internet services; and the third designs and installs a corporate customer network showcasing services offered by the industry.

People in both line and staff functions at telecommunications companies who manage either large or small projects will find the featured project management techniques and their real-world applications invaluable. In addition, telecom companies, manufacturers and suppliers who serve the telecom industry, Internet providers, and companies that make products for the datacom industry will also benefit from this brief, accessible guide.

一本簡明、權威的二十一世紀電信專案管理指南

隨著電信業持續快速變革,專案仍然是推動該行業演進的驅動力。對於在這個領域提供產品和服務的公司來說,專案仍然至關重要。這本袖珍指南由該領域的知名領導者撰寫,概述了過去幾年來電信環境的演變,說明了專案管理的必要性,並提供了對專案管理概念的基本理解。本書超越了標準的流程和技巧,以滿足電信行業特殊且不斷變化的需求,並展示了在該領域應用專案管理最佳實踐的方法。

本指南首先清晰定義了專案以及相關參與者的概念,然後幫助您設定專案和業務目標(並解釋為什麼它們並不總是相同)。它解釋了如何分析專案的範圍並進行採購管理。接下來,對專案風險的各個方面進行了回顧,以及溝通需求。從這裡,您將深入研究專案管理的一些核心概念-建立和維護進度表、管理成本以及跟進發展情況。然後,探討了管理人員的任務,包括管理風格、團隊建設、領導力、工作量和獎勵。

本指南通過示範專案,展示了專案管理的應用-如同專案管理學會所倡導-以滿足電信行業的特殊需求。各章節通過三個不同企業角度的電信專案進行了詳細介紹:第一個專案涉及引入一種新的無線技術,該技術將使用第四代蜂窩技術將電信服務提供到偏遠城市;第二個專案將現有的固定線路網絡從電路交換轉換為基於IP的網絡,提供互聯網服務;第三個專案設計並安裝了一個企業客戶網絡,展示了該行業提供的服務。

電信公司的線上和職能部門的人員,無論是管理大型還是小型專案的人,都會發現本書介紹的專案管理技巧及其在實際應用中的價值。此外,為電信行業提供服務的電信公司、製造商和供應商、互聯網服務提供商以及為數據通信行業生產產品的公司也將從這本簡明易懂的指南中受益。
