Synopsis

The book is aimed at change managers, project managers, and programme managers who are trying to implement change and projects.

Project management is one of those professions that has sort of evolved into what it is now. It started as part of management and then became more specialized; I think the problem is that project management has never really been a proper discipline (in the same way marketing or engineering). A lot of people stumbled into project management, almost like something to do on the ‘side of their desk’ as part of their normal job. With the massive amount of change in progress then, there needs to be proper discipline. This is one of the motivations for writing this book because I thought I could contribute to the knowledge and experience base to try and support project management generally
