Seattle, Washington, USA – Project Management Institute (PMI), the world’s leading not-for-profit advocacy association for the project management profession, today announced that it has awarded Kenneth H. Rose, PMP, its 2006 David I. Cleland Project Management Literature Award for his book, “Project Quality Management: Why, What and How.”
The award recognizes and honors the best project management literature published during the previous calendar year, and seeks to distinguish the author for his or her significant contribution and for advancing the state-of-the-art practice of project management knowledge, practices, procedures, concepts or other techniques that demonstrate the value of using project management.
“Project Quality Management: Why, What and How” approaches quality in the context of project management, and goes beyond the usual descriptions and advice for manufactured products, giving project managers a framework of deliberate steps to take in managing quality for the benefit of project outcomes in any domain. This user-friendly guide presents tools and techniques that implement the general methods defined in A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide)–Third Edition, and augments those methods with more detailed, hands-on procedures that have been proven through actual practice.
Rose is a PMI member, and holds the Project Management Professional (PMP®) credential. He also serves as book review editor of Project Management Journal. He completed a 23-year military career in high technology development and project management as a member of the Army Acquisition Corps. His hands-on experience ranges from the first steps of initiating concepts, identifying user requirements, and evaluating technology alternatives to the culminating processes of project implementation and delivery. As senior research scientist with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory he helped large government organizations develop and apply quality improvement programs, innovative performance measurement procedures and strategic plans. As project manager for a not-for-profit affiliate of Virginia Tech, he led projects and performed technical work related to environmental activities, project management training and implementation and organization development and leadership. He is currently self-employed as director of Peninsula Center for Project Management in Hampton, Virginia, USA, where he provides project management consulting and training services.
The award was presented on XX October at the congress Awards Ceremony, which was held in conjunction with PMI Global Congress 2006—North America in Seattle, Washington, USA.
