Vanaf oktober 2016 is ook leverbaar: 978 94 018 0064 8 Projectmanagement op basis van ICB versie 4 –3de geheel herziene druk. De inhoud van dit boek sluit aan op de eindtermen van IPMA Certification voor IPMA D, IPMA C, IPMA B en IPMA PMO, versie juli 2016. Mede door de verschijning van de eerste druk van dit boek, in 2008, is de belangstelling bij projectmanagers om een training te volgen op basis van de IPMA-C of IPMA-D examens zeer sterk gegroeid. Ook is het aantal opleidingsinstellingen dat trainingen aanbiedt voor deze examens, zeer sterk toegenomen. Dit boek was het eerste en enige boek dat de volledige leerstof voor IPMA-D en IPMA-C aanbood, afgestemd op de CITO-eindtermen voor beide examens. In deze tweede druk is de inhoud aangepast aan de nieuwe CITO-eindtermen, versie 2011. Op basis van duidelijke uitspraken uit de markt is er voor gekozen om weer één boek uit te brengen dat zowel voorbereidt op het IPMA-C examen als op het IPMA-D examen. De hoofdopzet is dan ook niet gewijzigd. Wel zijn er onderwerpen weggelaten en toegevoegd, aansluitend op de nieuwe eindtermen. Bovendien wordt er nu een duidelijk onderscheid gemaakt tussen de teksten die bedoeld zijn voor IPMA-C én IPMA-D, en de teksten die alleen aansluiten op de IPMA-C eindtermen. Dit boek is bedoeld voor iedereen die zich professioneel bezighoudt met projectmanagement en voor degenen die een IPMA-C of IPMA-D examen willen afleggen en zich willen laten certificeren als projectmanager. De inhoud van dit boek is gebaseerd op de NCB versie 3 van IPMA-NL. Daarmee biedt dit boek een uitgebreide en grondige verkenning van het vakgebied van de projectmanager, gebaseerd op de 46 competenties die de NCB onderscheidt. Deze competenties zijn verdeeld in drie gebieden: – Technische competenties – Gedragscompetenties – Contextuele competenties De consequente structuur van alle hoofdstukken maakt dat het boek goed toegankelijk is, ondanks het grote aantal behandelde onderwerpen. De auteurs sluiten bij de nadere toelichting van de competenties aan op de in de CITO-eindtermen vermelde referentieliteratuur. In principe zijn dat de publicaties die in Nederland en België gelden als de belangrijkste projectmanagementliteratuur. Die literatuur gaat veelal slechts in op één of enkele aspecten. Een van de sterke punten van Projectmanagement op basis van NCB versie 3 is dan ook dat het totale kennisgebied van projectmanagement, met alle aspecten, in een brede samenhang aan de orde komt. Er is gekozen voor een open schrijfstijl, waardoor de inhoud goed toegankelijk is. Tekstboxen (kaderteksten) naast de hoofdtekst met praktijkvoorbeelden bieden extra verduidelijking bij de hoofdtekst. De inhoud van het boek is gereviewd door een uitgebreid team van ervaren IPMA-trainers en IPMA-gecertificeerde projectmanagers.
