Collaborative Project Management: A Handbook

by Eamonn McGuinness

This book has grown out of a Collaborative Project Management Guide that we at BrightWork created with and for our customers. This new second edition includes a three-step Collaborative Project Management Framework – Collaborate, Lead, and Evolve – and an expanded section on leadership covering both Personal and Situational Leadership. The book provides a summary of the typical stages and steps involved in successfully managing a project collaboratively with a team, including steps for the project team members. It also addresses the critical topic of Leadership, and describes the habits and qualities that successful project managers and team members practice and exhibit. Our intention and intended audience is as - An easy-to-follow and simple-to-use collaborative project management book for new and ‘accidental’ project managers - A guide for team members who want to collaborate in the active management of projects - A source of materials experienced project managers can adapt to coach new project managers.
