Program management in a technical environment is as much art as it
is science. Effective program managers are able to combine
management and leadership skills for the good of the program and
the people entrusted to them. This book illuminates the entire life
cycle of the program-from the customer's original concept to
successful completion. It includes many helpful ideas and insights
into why programs and program managers can fail. Much more
importantly, it provides insights about how program managers can
succeed. Program Management in Defense and High Tech Environments
is organized as a chronological "tale" of a program life cycle,
with "side trips" that cover the important concepts of leadership,
claims and claims avoidance, earned value measurement (EVM),
communication basics, negotiations, and coaching. The book begins
with an overview of program management, discussing the role of
program managers, their required skills and experience, and the
types of programs and contracts. The remainder of the book provides
more detail on the program manager's role and the environment in
which he or she works. Understanding that academic explanations of
program management activities can be dry, the author uses
true-to-life stories to present the nuts and bolts of the work.
These stories illustrate the science of program management and the
art that is necessary for success. The book discusses many of the
common program pitfalls. It explains how to detect and avoid scope
creep-the unintended expansion of program scope. It details both
internal and external scope creep and stresses the importance of
constant vigilance to prevent cost overruns and schedule delays.
Program Management in Defense and High Tech Environments is a
comprehensive guide for early- and mid-career program managers to
understand what they need to do to be successful. It is also a
valuable resource for later-career program managers who want to
learn through other program managers' successes and failures.
