There's a New Sheriff in Town: The Project Manager's Proven Guide to Successfully Taking Over Ongoing Projects and Getting the Work Done - Paperback

by Martin J. Fenelon (Author)

Do you know how to lead a project that someone else started? You know that taking over an existing project is not the same as starting from scratch.

Despite a recent global survey revealing that 67% of projects finish with a different Project Manager than they started with, almost all Project Management methodologies and books assume a fresh project start. The reality is that few PMs have full control over the triple constraints (scope/quality, budget, and schedule) when joining an existing project team.

Are you frustrated by PM books that assume that the PM has a blank canvas when most of the time you are taking over projects that have already started? Then this book is for you!

There's a New Sheriff in Town provides a proven road map to successfully complete projects, regardless of their current status.

Based on over 40 years of PM experience in multiple industries, with both local and global teams, this practical guide provides you with a step-by-step path to success. Tips, checklists, and sample templates will speed your progress.

This book is a must-have for any PM taking over a project, regardless of your experience level. There's a New Sheriff in Town will help you lead your team to a successful project conclusion, regardless of the industry or delivery methodology involved.
