Each view reflects the interests of the three project board members. One of the strengths of PRINCE2 ® 7 Managing Successful Projects is its ability to bring the theory of project management in easily digestible form, whilst at the same time using lots of examples to make it extremely relevant.

This book challenges that thinking by suggesting that change management must be placed at the heart of all projects.

If many projects are going at the same time, a Project Support Office can be setup to take on some work.
