Executive's Guide to Project Management: Organizational Processes and Practices for Supporting Complex Projects

The Nature of Project Complexity and Uncertainty

The state of complexity and uncertainty at the project level exacerbates the management of programs and portfolios and the supporting infrastructure on the part of the SMT. You are a member of your organization's SMT and have clearly been taken out of your comfort zones. This book will share infrastructure and processes you need to take back control of your project environment. Understand at the outset that this will be a daunting task but it is a necessary task. The continued success of your organization depends upon it. Despite the best intentions and efforts of you and the rest of the SMT, it won't happen by next Tuesday. It is in fact a continuous process improvement effort.
