Managing large and complex organizations; balancing the needs of
business-as-usual, new products and services and business change;
assuring risk across everything the business does; these are all
core requirements of modern business which are provided by the
discipline of portfolio management. The Handbook of Project
Portfolio Management is the definitive publication that introduces
and describes in detail project portfolio management in today's
ever-changing world. The handbook contains the essential knowledge
required for managing portfolios of business change with real-life
examples that are being used by today's organizations in various
industries and environments. The team of expert contributors
includes many of the most experienced and highly regarded
international writers and practitioners from the global project
portfolio management industry, selected to provide the reader with
examples, knowledge and the skills required to manage portfolios in
any organization. Dennis Lock and Reinhard Wagner's definitive
reference on project portfolio management explains: the context and
role of the discipline; the practical processes, tools and
techniques required for managing portfolios successfully; the
capability required and how to develop it. The text also covers the
recognized standards as well as emerging issues such as
sustainability and environment. Collectively, this is a must-have
guide from the leading commentators and practitioners on project
portfolio management from across the world.
In the ten years since this Gower Handbook was first published,
Programme Management has been transformed to become the vehicle of
choice for realising the objectives of large scale, complicated,
business, government and social investment. The Second Edition of
this Gower Handbook is a completely new text; designed as a
definitive guide to the current state of Programme Management. To
that end the text offers foundation theory and knowledge around key
issues such as, managing programme contracts, people and know-how,
complexity and uncertainty, benefits and success measures, as well
as every stage of the programme life cycle. The main central
section of the book provides theory, tools, advice and examples of
practical application from an industry context and covers sectors
including construction, energy, aerospace and defence, IT,
automotive and the public sector. The Handbook also includes a
section with chapters on assessing and improving programme
competences and developing maturity. Discrete chapters relate
programme management to the international baselines and standards.
Collectively, the Gower Handbook of Programme Management is most
comprehensive guide to the subject that you can buy.
