| Abstract
|
:
|
Graham Oakes' Project Reviews, Assurance and Governance is about learning from your mistakes and understanding what's really going on with your projects. In order for reviews and assurance to provide you with this information and learning, you need to perform them effectively and that is the purpose of this book. The author builds from his experience of running assurance and review teams for professional service firms (working for public and private sector clients) and for private sector companies. He provides a series of 'mental models' that can help reviewers, sponsors and other stakeholders.
