IT Management Models

What is a model? Good question. A model starts with a picture or simple graphic used to depict a specific management principle or issue. There are 72 models in the book. Each model has a unique graphic, a brief description, and bullet points that highlight key points of the model. In addition, there is a full page discussion of the model and each of the key points.

Models is a truly unique book. The models themselves make the book different and interesting to learn. They will also be extremely easy to remember and to use in your day to day activities. Using models in your IT management or project management activities is a natural thing to do. "A picture says a thousand words." and now there is an entire set of models designed specifically for the technology manager or project manager to use in order to achieve more success.

Models is a fun book. Managing technology is hard work and full of stress. We all need to view our problems from a "lighter side" at times. Some of the models like Bite the head of a frog provide a meaningful management principle and insight while taking a more fun approach to the situation. When you read about this model, you won't forget it for a long time and you will be amazed at how easy it will be to use the model in daily situations.

Models is a practical book.  The job of managing technology resources is complex to be sure but managing doesn't have to be hard and complex when you know what to do, how to go about it, and have the tools to be successful.

Who is Models intended for? Models is primarily intended for IT managers of all levels, project managers, team leaders, and supervisors. However, it is a tool that can be understood and used by virtually anyone.

Models are grouped into six management discipline categories. The book is organized so you may learn the models one by one or focus in on a specific management discipline to learn about that area of management. The management discipline categories are:

1. IT Assessment

2. Strategy and Planning

3. Project Management and Process

4. Organization and Staff

5. Financial Management

6. Measurements and Communication

The models cover a complete overview of the requirements of an IT manager, delve into specifics of project management, and focus specifically on issues pertinent to information technology.

You get two publications. Most of us don't like to carry lots of paper around so there is a second Adobe PDF ebook file that is a summary document of the models. The Models Summary Booklet can be printed out in 5"x7" format for easy reference. The great thing about providing the material in Adobe PDF format is being able to use color and to provide you the material the same day as your order arrives.
