About this Item

Programs are essential to executing corporate strategies; however, their success depends on several critical factors: effective stakeholder engagement, robust program governance, skilled team management, a solid program management infrastructure, and adherence to a well-defined program management lifecycle. When these elements are missing or inconsistently applied, program execution often fails. Knowledge gaps, inconsistencies in how program management is defined across industries, and the absence of a standardized approach are common pitfalls.Despite the high stakes, comprehensive resources on program management are surprisingly scarce.

This updated edition of the original classic provides a systematic approach to program management, addressing the critical need for clear definitions and practical guidance. Divided into strategic and tactical parts, the book covers everything from executing corporate strategy through programs to delivering them on time and within budget. With easy-to-follow chapters and helpful visuals, this guide empowers program managers to standardize practices and reduce inconsistencies, ensuring successful outcomes time and time again.
