Overview

Strategic Project Management uses real life case examples to characterize and describe the organizational factors and conditions necessary for projects to thrive and to deliver the organization's strategic objectives. This characterization is formed around ten imperatives which senior managers can implement - both within individual projects and, even more crucially, within the institutions that sponsor them - using the tools provided. Accessible, practical and free of jargon, Strategic Project Management offers the solutions needed to successfully prioritize and manage a portfolio of projects, communicate aims, align priorities to organizational objectives, evaluate progress, manage supplier relationships and anticipate and mitigate the risks at every stage. Supported by a comprehensive package of online resources for project portfolio planning, management and analysis this book will help readers to build on their skills, knowledge and confidence to rise to the challenge of governing and delivering successful projects.

Reviews

Particularly useful to anyone transitioning from a technical or functional role to one where leadership skills and an ability to offer their own insights or contribute to key decisions is essential. The case study approach ... and in particular the solutions offered are engaging, easy to understand and relevant to any sector. If you want to be successful, save money and reduce the risk of ignominy, I highly recommend that you read this book. Martin Mc Cormack, ICT Director, Beaumont Hospital Over the last decade project management has matured as a discipline. Where once project managers were frequently the waifs and strays from an organisation's myriad functions, more often than not they are now well-trained specialists in their field. And yet projects don't necessarily feel any easier to execute or more successful in their outcomes. This book both provides detailed and valuable insight into why that might be, and what can be done about it. Stuart Kinsey, Head of Change Governance (Global banking organization)
