The primary cause of many project failures is that responsible executives, because of their lack of knowledge in project management, fail to demand that their managers and staff properly utilize the well-proven best practices, processes, systems, and tools that are now available in this field

Executives in all business, industrial, governmental, and nongovernmental organizations need to fully understand the differences between operational and project management principles and practices to best take advantage of the power of good project management and thereby lead and manage the innovation within their enterprise. This book seeks to satisfy this need by presenting concise descriptions of 1) the key concepts underlying project and program management, 2) the important characteristics of projects and programs, 3) how they are best governed and managed, and 4) how to determine if the desired benefits have actually been achieved.

An update to a best-selling project management book, this includes the latest information on the most important issues within the field.
