Chapter 1 in Project Management Handbook, 2023, pp 1-48 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In this chapter, the authors Jürg Kuster, Christian Bachmann, Mike Hubmann, Robert Lippmann, and Patrick Schneider give an introduction to modern project management and place it in a leadership context. Agile project management is treated on an equal footing with traditional project management and both the similarities and differences are explained. Based on agile and traditional methods, hybrid process models are presented and their areas of application explained. The success of complex, interdisciplinary projects requires an increasingly wide-ranging set of competences, especially from the project manager. For this reason, the authors connect the methodological principles to the people who implement the project in the team. The levels “methodology”, “people”, and “team” interact with each other. This chapter provides a solid foundation in order to effectively combine the mentioned aspects for successful project management. Standards and certification options such as IPMA, PMI, Prince2, and Hermes are also presented.
