Chapter 1 in Program Management of Technology Endeavours, 2015, pp 1-17 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Projects and programs are not alien concepts; nor are the management issues related to these fields of practice. Case studies abound — both successes and failures — each of which comes across as unique, with its own contextual justifications. Many a guide has been developed and many a standard proposed. It comes across as a paradox of sorts that while we define a project as a unique set of activities for achieving a unique goal, we tend to straitjacket the processes for management. This book attempts to view these processes and practices from an insider’s perspective. It seeks to provide an insight into how the best practices have been garnered into forming a replicable model that has not only facilitated the implementation of a large national government program with unprecedented success but also helped in building a huge knowledge repository.
