Reihe: Best Practices and Advances in Program Management Series

Managing technical programs successfully is as much art as it is science. This book illuminates the entire life cycle of the program—from customer’s original concept to successful completion. It offers an overview of the entire process and includes helpful ideas and insights into why programs and program managers can fail. Much more importantly, it provides insights as to how program managers can succeed. The book also deals directly with identifying scope creep—both internal and external.
