Programme Management Demystified: Managing Multiple Projects Successfully Programme Management Demystified: Managing Multiple Projects Successfully

Geoff Reiss
1996, ISBN: 0419213503
They say that project management is like juggling with three balls - time, cost and quality; Programme Management is like a troupe of circus performers standing in a circle, all juggling three balls simultaneously and swapping balls from time to time. Each project has its own restraints of time, cost and resources and must also be seen in terms of its effect on other projects and resources. If programme management takes place in the normal three-dimensional world, then project management takes place in a flat two-dimensional world.
