BOOK Creating an Environment for Successful Project Management Randall Englund Creating an Environment for Successful Projects, 3rd Edition by Randall Englund and Robert J. Graham | Oct 29, 2019 Now in its third edition, this project management classic has been updated with an array of field-tested tools to help upper management ensure the success of projects within organizations. For over twenty years, Creating an Environment for Successful Projects has been a staple for upper managers who want to help projects succeed. This new edition includes case studies from companies that have successfully applied the approach, along with practical tools such as templates, surveys, and benchmark reports for savvy leaders who want to ensure project success throughout their organizations. The insights in this book will help management speed projects along instead of getting in their way. All too often, well-intentioned managers put roadblocks in the team's way instead of empowering them with the tools they need to succeed. This approach to project environments, grounded in decades of research and practice, will help you make your organization the most project-friendly it's ever been. Organizational changes rarely work unless upper management is heavily involved. Although project managers are most closely responsible for the success of projects, upper managers are the ones who ultimately create an environment that supports those projects. The way upper managers define, structure, and act toward projects has an important effect on the success or failure of those projects and, consequently, the success or failure of the organization. This book helps all managers understand the need for project management changes and shows how to develop project management as an organizational practice.

Review “Crisp execution of projects is critical to the survival of today’s organizations. This practical book is filled with ideas and examples that will teach you how to build project management competence in your organization.” —Lewis E. Platt, former Chairman, President, and CEO, Hewlett-Packard Company “Creating an Environment for Successful Projects is an outstanding resource for any organization, team, or individual responsible for delivering projects effectively. We have used the authors’ experiences and knowledge to workshop the needs in our organization and continue to develop tactics to further enhance our project management practices. This book will remain on my shelf as a reference for our future.” —James A. Lee, PE, LEED AP, President, Shive-Hattery “The first edition was so valued that it was stolen from my NASA office after I told others that it was one of the finest project leadership books around. Glad to see that the third edition is coming out.” —Edward J. Hoffman, PhD, former Chief Knowledge Officer, NASA; CEO, Knowledge Strategies; Strategic Advisor, PMI; and Senior Lecturer, Columbia University School of Professional Studies “Creating an Environment for Successful Projects became our bible for program leadership during PMO startup and continues to be a fundamental part of our thinking as we work to attain recognition as a truly project-based organization.” —Colonel Gary LaGassey, former Project Office Program Manager, Aviano Air Base, Italy “The book is rich with examples of why typical management behavior interferes with new product development. It clearly explains why upper managers are fearful, why corporate communications are so often poor, and yes, how to fix such things. The goal is to give project managers the freedom, training, and support to run rather autonomous and effective new product development programs.” —John D.
