Synopsis: Written by authors who have real-world experience of leading teams and major projects, this book explores a new approach to project success: the continuous process of enabling and empowering teams to reach the optimal levels of performance. For decades, project managers have been asking the multi-million, and sometimes multi-billion-dollar question: why did the project fail? High project failure rates are nothing new and have been well documented, but when project professionals seek answers, they usually return to the original project plan to identify flaws. Yet there is one place where most don't look for the answers: the people. Here is the value gap of the almost untouched area of project team performance management that has the potential to be the next quantum leap in project success. PMO leaders, change executives, HR professionals, project managers, program managers, and portfolio managers – anyone who leads a team in the project world – will learn how to make this critical investment for any organization which wishes to thrive in the ‘new normal’ project-based economy.
