REAL PROJECT PLANNING: DEVELOPING A PROJECT DELIVERY STRATEGY I st edn

摘要

Although this book can be standalone it does unashamedly make reference, in places, to the other texts in the series which have not been examined as part of this review. This text is likely to appeal to an audience comprised of practitioners involved with business planning rather than academics, in that it is a handbook with no reference to project management literature or research.rnAs the text suggests, the focus is on developing a strategy for project delivery that commences at the point when the project has received approval by the sponsoring organisation. The book covers strategy development within its five chapters, and provides three chapters covering cases studies to illustrate the planning concepts and methodologies introduced in preceding chapters. Although Real Project Planning is primarily written from the perspective of engineering projects in the process industry it does usefully provide examples of projects from other sectors. This is demonstrated with the three case studies provided, covering a capital engineering project, a strategic consultancy assignment and an organisational change programme.
