The Superior Project Organization describes global best practices, competencies, and standards of superior project organizations based on research conducted by the Project Management Benchmarking Forum, detailing the results of seven years of benchmarking and investigation of the bottom line value of project organizations in large functional enterprises.
Assuring that approaches will be predictable and consistent from project to project among different project leaders in various time periods and project environments, The Superior Project Organization presents project office implementation in a step-by-step approach that has been tested and validated; explains portfolio management through all phases of project life; discusses best practices with supporting research that enhance host organizations’ strategies; maximizes goal achievement of individual projects through project organization support; ranks best practices based on their impact on project success; and more.
The best practices and competency standards found in The Superior Project Organization can be immediately applied to implement project organizations and improve the effectiveness of those already in operation. Improvements include the capability of project organizations and offices to implement the strategy of the host organization as well as to support project teams in their efforts to attain project goals through speed, efficiency, and effectiveness. |
