One Project Too Many: A Novel Approach to the Management of Projects, Portfolios and Programmes

by Geoff Reiss, Geof Leigh

Geoff Reiss and Geof Leigh have created an 'educational novel'; it goes beyond the textbook treatises on project and programme management to include real-life experience. The story of a new CEO and his 'project challenge' to the organisation takes the reader through all the by-ways of modern project and programme management with a cast of characters who display many of the frailties of those of us who work in projects. Like a great case study, the book contains all the information created and used by the team as they struggle to get their project off the ground and introduce the bones of programme management in the organisation. Filing cabinets placed at strategic points in the text, lead the author to the technical content at the back of the book and on an accompanying website.
