Recommendation

Authors Shan Rajegopal, Philip McGuin and James Waller know what they are talking about and share solid information on project management, but their book reflects their roots as consultants who eschew simple language in favor of buzzwords. In one colorful example, they write: “PPM is a paradigm shift in thinking, its successful implementation driven from the top down, spearheaded by executive and senior management sponsorship and responsibility.” Aside from the dense prose, the book illuminates the importance of using project management as a strategic tool, and then it tells you how to do it. It can help make your organization more nimble and responsive, and it gives special, useful attention to software considerations. getAbstract recommends this detailed work on a subject that is crucial to contemporary organizations.

Take-Aways

  • Contemporary organizations need effective project management.
  • Project portfolio management can help you align all of your projects with your company’s strategic goals.
  • Properly managed projects make organizations more nimble in the face of change.
