| Abstract
|
:
|
They say that project management is like juggling three balls - time, cost and quality. Programme management is like a troupe of circus performers standing in a circle, each juggling-three balls and swapping balls from time to time. A large part of programme management is the management of simultaneous projects. From engineering to information technology, public utilities to banks, in government and industry, companies find themselves trying to achieve many projects with few resource. Also known as multi-project management, it is more demanding than project management. Drawing on a wide range of case histories and examples, Geoff Reiss tackles organizational issues, cost control, planning problems and matrix management formulae as well as the multi-project conflicts that often arise. This book will provide the perfect companion to his successful book Project Management Demystified.
