Projects, Programs, and Portfolios: Integration and Management

This book explains how to improve the management of projects, programs, and portfolios through the integration of their tools, life cycles, and information. It discusses how to integrate the three Ps with the business for tighter strategic alignment. Removing the barriers among projects, programs, and portfolios, the text describes a single P-trio project entity with three different levels of focus: deliverables projects, outcomes projects, and strategic projects. The author provides a consistent model as well as a set of methodologies and new tools for planning and monitoring programs.
