Gerard M. Hill

The Complete Project Management Office Handbook (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Expanded and thoroughly revised, this book extends the concepts and considerations of "modern project management" into the realm of project management oversight, control, and support. It recognizes the need for a centralized organizational entity-the project management office (PMO)-to perform in this capacity. It also positions the PMO as a business integrator, whether that role is limited to managing multiple projects as a program, or expanded to serve both project and business management interests in the organization. The PMO model defined in this book helps both project managers and the organization to understand and apply professional practices in project management, and to adapt and integrate business practices into the project management environment.
