Add value to your projects

This book is aimed at chief executives, project directors, project office managers and project managers who are interested in learning more about how to realise maximum value from their projects.

The first part of the book addresses the most important areas that influence a company's ability to undertake projects. The second part of the book provides suggestions as to how you, in your company, can create the best framework for ensuring that your projects are successful.

The book came about through curiosity. As a consultant I have been involved in the customisation, refinement and implementation of project methodology and portfolio management in many companies. Many of my experiences of implementation did not fit the common guidelines that can be found in project standards and similar. Add value to your projects is solidly anchored in contemporary research and examines subjects such as company strategy and culture, project success criteria, portfolio management, project methodologies, project maturity and project culture and PMO offices.
