Many large scale projects are delivered over schedule and over budget. Programme management is a new approach to maximize the likelihood of successful change management. While being based around a set of techniques, this book describes an approach to programme management that outlines the skills and capabilities that organizations need to develop in order to manage change programmes effectively. It is the first book to take this holistic view of programme management linked to the capabilities and strategy of the organization. This updated paperback edition includes a new chapter on programme governance.

Reviews:
Enterprise Programme Management
Rating: *** (Disappointing)
Over-rated, rehash, and confusing. Need I say more? It tries to create an "Enterprise" variant of Program Management, which just goes to show that the authors doesn't really understand Program Management.
