Introduction
The contemporary world of projects and project management is racing ahead without constraint. Project and program managers are faced with a continuously changing array of tools, templates, and processes. Everyone seems to have their own approach with little in the way of standards or best practices. Performance comparisons across projects are difficult at best. Learning opportunities are not shared in any organized way. It would not be unfair to say that the project world of most organizations is spinning out of control.
The business world is the beneficiary of this unbridled change. Time to market has never been more critical than it is now. And an organization's ability to achieve that speed is dependent on their ability to be flexible and creative. Every critical process must align and must be lean and mean. Supporting the design and implementation of those processes from the perspective of the senior management team (SMT) is the topic of this groundbreaking book.
