The Programme and Portfolio Workout: Directing Business-Led Programmes and Portfolios
Autor Robert Buttricken Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 iul 2020
The Programme and Portfolio Workout provides practical advice and techniques to direct and manage your business in a structured, yet agile, way. Aimed at both business and programme managers, it takes you through different approaches to portfolio, programme and project management and shows you how they can work together. The practical approach is enhanced throughout with a series of ‘Workouts’: exercises, techniques and checklists to help you put the book’s advice into practice. The Workouts are supported by an on-line resource of tools.
This expanded edition contains a wealth of new material on the governance and management of portfolio and programmes, including how to work with standards and methods, such as GovS 002, ISO 21504, BS6079 and MSP. The companion to this book, The Project Workout, deals with directing and managing individual projects. It uses the same concepts and approaches so that you know, when directing your portfolio or programme, that your project sponsors and managers are taking the same approach. Together, these books give you what you need to ensure your organization succeeds.

"Following The Project Workout (4th), one of the most assertive books on today project management, Robert Bruttick has endevoured to provide the 5th edition of its outstanding companion – The Programme and Portfolio Workout - filling the need of an authoritative, updated and complete guide to other "Ps" of the discipline. As organisations have to tackle more than a dozen projects or a few major programmes, they likely require to mature their capabilities in Directing and managing portfolios and programmes, as the book’s subtitle reminds. In fact, what this book does is put together the wider, business led, rather technology led, view of managing organizations, introducing ‘business agility’ by harnessing portfolio and programme management as delivery vehicles. It treats portfolios, programme, projects and other work as an integrated whole, rather than separate and disconnected elements of an organization. The book structure helps the reader follow the consolidated workflow for developing the PPP capability of any organisation, in six entertaining parts which develop: the challenges to be faced, essence of project management, portfolio and programme management and their supporting methods, finally implementing the framework. Sure, it’s a must reference for practitioners, university students and all stakeholders (governance, sponsors, project, PMO, functional managers and others) who wish to become very fluent or improve their abilities in project management." - Pier Luigi Guida, PMP, PgMP, PRINCE2, author, consultant, editor in chief at "il Project Manager", chairman of the Italian Standardization Institute Committee for Project Management.
“If you truly understand your topic you can explain it in terms that anyone can understand.

The Programme and Portfolio Workout is a fabulous extension on the foundations laid by The Project Workout and a truly invaluable resource for all practitioners.” - Jo-Anne Harrison, Chair, Standards Australia Mirror Committee – Project, Programme and Portfolio Management.
