Many organisations have struggled to apply the traditional models of project management to their new projects in the global environment. Indeed, projects continue to fail at an alarming rate. A major part of the build-up to failure is often the lack of adequate project management knowledge and experience. Advances in Project Management covers key areas of improvement in understanding and project capability further up the management chain; amongst strategy and senior decision makers and amongst professional project and programme managers. This collection, drawn from some of the world?s leading practitioners and researchers and compiled by Professor Darren Dalcher of the National Centre for Project Management, provides those people and organizations who are involved with the developments in project management with the kind of structured information and new approaches that will inform their thinking and their practice and improve their decisions.
