I Project Management Journal I DOI: 10.1002/pmj “I n this world nothing is certain but death and taxes.” Were Benjamin Franklin a modern-day project man- ager he might instead proclaim, “In projects nothing is certain but the inevitability of politics and conflict.” Indeed, politics and conflict are undeniable and inescapable real- ities in the project environment regardless of the size or location of the project. Ignoring them can be hazardous for the project manager and the project. In Managing Politics and Conflict in Projects, author Brian Irwin endeavors to help project managers uncover ways to manage con- flict constructively and use political play to advance their goals by improving their soft skills. “Usually, it’s not the . . . science of project man- agement . . . that causes migraines and heart- burn for project managers.” says Irwin. “Rather, it’s the need for constant communication, negotiation, political play, and influence,” or to put it another way, reliance on the soft skills that are the essence of the art of project management. Irwin’s book begins with a brief commentary on the art and science of project management, followed by a straightforward evaluation of some of the challenges inherent in the project envi- ronment: communication, competition for resources, unclear project goals, lack of power, and project globalization. These chal- lenges are all the result of organizational politics, the cause of project-related conflicts, or both. By addressing them in the first chapter, Irwin provides context for the material discussed in the subsequent chapters. The content here is fairly basic, suggesting that the book is geared more toward students and novices of project management than experienced practitioners, and that Irwin intends to approach his subject matter broadly but not deeply. In the second chapter, Irwin makes an important distinction between “positive” and “negative” politics. He provides broad overviews of organizational culture, project manager as an agent of change, and political self-awareness, which includes a couple of nine-question quizzes enabling the reader to do a quick self- assessment. Similarly, in the third chapter, Irwin highlights the difference between “constructive” and “destructive” conflict. He briefly addresses the necessity of proj- ect conflict, sources of conflict in project groups, and conflict resolution modes. Both chapters contain practical advice—tips and topic-related techniques—that can be “put to immediate use.” Although these two chapters provide only cursory overviews of organizational politics and conflict, they are ostensibly the underpinnings for the materi- al in the rest of the book. Irwin devotes a chapter each to commu- nication, negotiation, multidirectional rela- tionship management, political strategy, and leadership. These chapters, which focus on the soft skills pertinent to the particular topic discussed, have been “written so each can be read independently as needed.” Here again, tips and topic-related techniques have been included in each chapter. These are presum- ably “best practices” for managing politics and conflict in proj- ects that Irwin has drawn from his own project management experiences. Some, while practical, are fairly obvious and are likely to be techniques that novice project managers are already doing. Others sound good in theory but might prove impractical, if not irrelevant, in real-life situations. To illustrate the topics discussed in each chapter, Irwin has woven a running fictional case study into the book. The case study is somewhat contrived and, at times, a bit melodramatic. But it does focus attention on some of the political issues and conflicts typically encountered in projects and it shows how Irwin’s tips and techniques can be used to deal with them. The real value-add of the case study is that it showcases how benefi- cial a mentor can be to a project manager. This is a great take- away for students, novices, and seasoned practitioners alike. Managing Politics and Conflict in Projects tackles the rather weighty issues of politics and conflict in the project environ- ment. It is not the first book to do so, nor does it add to the exist- ing literature in any unique or compelling way. Given the author’s basic and sometimes flimsy treatment of the subject matter, the book is unlikely to appeal widely to experienced practitioners. However, precisely because it does approach rela- tively complex topics in an undemanding and uncomplicated way, the book might be of interest to students and novices.
