31 Literature and Links Project Management [1] Schelle, Ottmann, Pfeiffer: Project Manager, GPM, 2006 Project Manager is a textbook and reference work. It is an advanced training tool that enables project management professionals to prepare for the higher levels of certification in accordance with GPM and International Project Management Association (IPMA) requirements. The textbook also provides an effective introduction to the field of project management for beginners. It contains an overview of the most important subject areas, though in enough depth of detail to enable their application in practice. The GPM has set standards for the international development of project management with Project Manager: - Proven methods - Main focus on 'people in projects' - Strong emphasis on communication - Covers the requirements of the internationally recognised IPMA Competence Baseline (ICB) - Created with the assistance of test readers from reputed German enterprises Project Management in IT Practice

33 Literature Project Management [3] John Hermarij: Better Practices of Project Management Based on IPMA competences Project management is a fast growing profession. The IPMA Competence Baseline (ICB) version 3, dating from 2007, gives a clear description of this profession based on 46 competence elements. This book gives the essential theoretical and practical background of each competence element, based on the leading sources. The structure of this book follows the order of the competence elements in the ICB version 3, divided into Technical competences, Behavioural competences and Contextual competences. For this reason it is the essential study book for everyone studying for the IPMA-D and IPMA-C exams, and for those project managers that have committed themselves to a lifelong professional development. In addition, the book had to be applicable to groups of project managers originating from diverse cultures. For this reason, this is not a book that tells how a Westerner must behave in an Arab or an Asian country, but one that looks at the different subjects covered in the ICB, as seen from diverse cultural standpoints. Each chapter is based on the same structure: Definitions, Introduction, Process Steps, Process steps, Special topics. Text boxes, additional to the main text, give additional explanation to the main text. An elaborate Index of terms allows that this book can be used as the information source to all aspects of project management. Project Management in IT Practice
