Program Management for Improved Business Results

A practitioner text on programme management written from the business results end rather than the process end. It positions the programme manager as the person accountable for the business case across many projects, and works through initiation, planning, execution and closure with the benefits case in view throughout. Chapters cover programme organisation and governance, stakeholder and vendor management, financial management, and the difference in scope between a project manager and a programme manager. The second edition adds material on programme complexity, on agile delivery inside a programme, and on the programme management office. Useful when your accountability has widened but your tools have not.
