A Framework for Value Management
Practice – Second Edition
Michel Thiry, PhD, AIA, MAPM, CVS, CVM, PMP
A Framework for Value Management Practice – Sec-
ond Edition begins by providing readers with the
background needed to understand the origins of this
complex and rapidly evolving practice. The second
chapter builds on this foundation by helping readers
understand how the deceptively simple concept of
“value” is actually a complex interweaving of factors
that include time, people, subject and circumstance.
Dr. Thiry then walks the reader step by step through
the complexities of different value methodologies.

Fundamentals of Program Management
Motoh Shimizu, Dr. Eng, PMP
Fundamentals of Program Management: Strategic
Program Bootstrapping for Business Innovation and
Change deals with this issue in a new and innovative
way. The book is a core subset of a larger, highly
successful book previously published in Japan. Its
purpose is to provide a linkage between strategy and
project management through programs, and to offer
a framework for integrating strategy, programs and
projects. To date, this critical linkage has not been
well understood and has usually been left to the per-
sonal knowledge and expertise of project managers
engaged in actual tasks.

Managing Conflict in Projects:
Applying Mindfulness and Analysis for
Optimal Results
George Pitagorsky, PMP
Managing Conflict in Projects charts a course for
identifying and dealing with conflict in a project con-

conflict management is not a cookbook solution to
disagreement—a set of prescribed actions to be ap-
plied in all situations. His overall approach seeks to
balance two aspects of conflict management: analy-
sis based on a codified process and people-centered
behavioral skills (emotional intelligence).

Project-Driven Technology Strategy
Robert N. McGrath, PhD, PMP
Project-Driven Technology Strategy is a unique con-

beyond the immediate concerns of day-to-day proj-
ect management—matters that, none the less, exert
critical influence on project performance.
Much of the book’s foundation lies in economics,
with the author bringing together the economic prin-
ciples of luminaries such as Adam Smith and Karl
Marx, mixing in those of the lesser known Joseph
Schumpeter, whose concept of “Entrepreneurship”
is a consistent thread woven throughout the fabric
of the text.

Project Procurement Management:
Contracting, Subcontracting, Teaming
Quentin W. Flemming
Project procurements are simply sub-projects, which
need to be managed well, not blindly delegated to
an independent organization to buy for the project.
Certain procurements, major complexity develop-
ments or creating something new, according to the
project’s unique specification must be managed by
the project team and supported by the professional
procurement organization. This book zeroes in on the
effective management of that portion of the project
which will be performed by another organization. It
focuses on the procurement of scope from an or-
ganization outside of the project. Often, the success
or failure of a project is dependent on how well the
project can plan, define, solicit, authorize and man-
age this external relationship.

This book explores the gap between the theory and
practice of knowledge management in organizations
and analyzes how learning happens and how knowl-
edge is created. The authors take a practitioner-driv-
en approach, one that unites organizational strategy
with the learning of organizational lessons. Through
a survey of the literature and an analysis of original
case-study research, this book develops a model of
learning capability that proceeds exactly as its title
implies, not as a line, but as a cycle—from codify-
ing individual knowledge and putting it into practice
within a context that values social relationships and

Developing Government Policy Capability
Jill Owen; James Connor; Henry Linger; Vanessa McDermott;

Developing Government Policy Capability examines
the role project management plays in supporting
how policy work is conducted. Using Australia’s
controversial Tobacco Plain Packaging Act 2011 as
a case study, the authors explore the question: Can
project management practices contribute to im-
proving government policy development and imple-
mentation capability? Their argument—that project
management can solve even “wicked” problems—
is not necessarily new. As they explain, that’s pretty
much what project management is all about.

Megaproject Organization and

Nuno Gil; Colm Lundrigan; Jeffrey K. Pinto; Phanish Puranam
This book delves into the complex world of orga-
nizing megaprojects and investigates the extent to
which the performance of these projects could be
traced back to their organizational structure.
This in-depth study brings a complementary per-
spective to megaproject literature and enables us
to reconcile conflicting explanations for the regu-
larity with which megaprojects miss performance
targets. With pluralism at the core of the megaproj-
ect’s organizational structure, the authors argue
that megaprojects work best when accountability is
shared and everyone has a stake in the final out-
come.

Brian Hobbs; Yvan Petit
Creativity and productivity, rapid adaptation to

been most widely and successfully undertaken in the
context of small, colocated teams working on small

Through a case study and survey questionnaire, the
authors uncover research questions that have re-
mained largely unexamined in the literature, on the
project level as well as on the organizational level.

view of the most current EVM practices. To provide
practical and meaningful comparison of EVM prac-
tice, respondents are classified by industry sector,

The Project Management Office (PMO):
A Quest for Understanding
Brian Hobbs, PhD, MBA, PMP; Monique Aubry, PhD, MPM
Since project management offices began to appear
in organizations over the last decade, project man-
agement practitioners and their organizations have
been asking how to structure project management
offices (PMOs) and what functions to assign them. In
The Project Management Office (PMO): A Quest For
Understanding, authors Brian Hobbs and Monique
Aubry address these questions, providing a look at
how PMOs exist today, and some clues about how
and why they’re changing.

Learning for Success: How Team
Learning Behaviors Can Help Project
Teams to Increase the Performance of
Their Projects
Peter Storm, PhD; Chantal Savelsbergh, PhD; Ben Kuipers, PhD
In Learning for Success, authors Peter Storm, Chan-
tal Savelsbergh and Ben Kuipers contend that most
projects have two different but complementary aims:
to perform and to learn. Learning helps the perfor-
mance of the current project and of future projects.
It works in the reverse also: good performance stim-
ulates the desire to become even better, which leads
to discovering how to do it. In other words, good per-
formance drives the desire to learn.

The Mindset for Creating Project Value
Thomas G. Lechler, PhD; John C. Byrne, PhD
This powerful book examines project management
success factors and potential possibilities to improve
project performance. It also focuses on the excep-
tional thinker and manager—one who is not fixed
just on what is given, but who seeks out and acts
on opportunities to create the maximum value for a
project’s stakeholders. Leaders within organizations
will find this book useful to emphasize and encour-
age entrepreneurial behaviors of project managers
in a way that influences project performance beyond

Emotional Intelligence and Projects
Nicholas Clarke, PhD; Ranse Howell
Project professionals who have high levels of emo-
tional intelligence are often said to be more suc-
cessful, both in their projects and in their careers.
To succeed in today’s project environment, technical
skills aren’t enough. Working well with people—di-
rect reports, peers, customers and management—is
just as crucial to success. This book investigates the
correlation between emotional intelligence and suc-
cess as a project manager. Includes training exercis-
es and scenarios.
