You’re now responsible for a programme, or you’ve got a portfolio to manage? Where do you start? Right here! Projects are not simply the bread and butter of an organisation. Form them into programmes or portfolios and they can be prioritised and integrated to deliver change to your organization in line with your strategic vision. You will be able to control costs and risks and bring together a complex series of themes effectively. This overhauled second edition now combines portfolio management as a parallel theme with programme management, and it is brought in line with the current thinking of the Association for Project Management and the Project Management Institute. It is written for managers in both the public and private sectors. This new edition includes half a dozen short case studies (from Belgium’s Fortis Bank, a software company, local government, and central government), along with more on cross-functional management. Together with Project Management Demystified, also from Routledge (third edition, 2007), it provides the tools to manage your projects, your programmes and your portfolio to a very high level.
This book explains the many techniques which have been developed to help you manage projects successfully using very clear objectives within a commercial environment. Examples are drawn from construction, civil engineering, product launches, publishing, computer hardware and software, scientific projects and aerospace.
Concise, practical and entertaining to read, this excellent introduction to project management is an indispensable book for professionals and students working in or studying project management in business, engineering or the public sector. This third edition contains expanded sections on programme management, portfolio management, and the public sector. An entirely new chapter covers the evaluation, analysis and management of risks and issues. A much expanded section explores the rise and utilization of methodologies like Prince2.
CODE OF PRACTICE FOR PROGRAMME MANAGEMENT IN THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT CODE OF PRACTICE FOR PROGRAMME MANAGEMENT IN THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT This is the first Code of Practice for Programme Management for the Built Environment. It is a natural development from the highly successful Code of Practice for Project Management for Construction & Development, which was first published in 1992 and is currently in its fifth edition. Both Codes of Practice were developed by representatives from the major professional institutions associated with the built environment, including the CIOB, RICS, RIBA, ICE and APM, as well as from key government departments, domestic and international corporations and the university sector. By aligning, coordinating and managing a number of related projects as a programme, benefits that would not have been possible to realise had the projects been managed independently can be delivered. This Code of Practice is intended to provide practical coverage of the general processes and procedures to be followed when managing such a programme. It sets out the necessary requirements for effective and efficient programme management, while at the same time ensuring systematic quality control and documentation through governance arrangements. Written for programme and project management professionals in construction, whether working as contractors or clients, the book will also be of interest to advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students of construction and related disciplines.
This book provides a powerful insight into strategic portfolio management and its central role in the delivery of organisational strategy, maximisation of value creation, and efficient allocation of resources and capabilities to achieve organisational strategic objectives. The book makes a valuable contribution to the development of thinking on the translation of strategy into actionable work. Whether you are a senior manager building a high-performing strategic portfolio for your organisation or an academic searching for new perspectives on strategy execution through portfolio management, you will find great significance in this book. Twenty-eight chapters in four sections provide multiple perspectives on the topic, with in-depth guidance on organisational design for strategic portfolio management and covering all process, capability, and leadership aspects of strategic portfolio management. The book includes several detailed case studies for the effective deployment of strategic portfolios, bringing together theory and practice for strategic portfolio management. This book is particularly valuable for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students of project and portfolio management, strategic management, and leadership who are looking to expand their knowledge within the multi-project environment. Highly practical and logical in its structure, it also shows project management professionals how to effectively manage their business portfolios and align this with their business strategy.
