Project Sponsorship: Achieving Management Commitment for Project Success

by Randall L. Englund, Alfonso Bucero

Project Sponsorship —which includes case studies, checklists, and action plans—shows how project sponsors and project managers can develop the skills they need to manage successful projects. Randall L. Englund and Alfonso Bucero—experts in the field of project management—have written the definitive guide for educating all stakeholders in the nature of project sponsorship. They describe in detail the responsibilities of the project sponsor, from communications and liaison, selection and training, problem solving, mentoring, and feedback, to the review of project execution. The project sponsor and manager learn how to negotiate effectively with each other and the project team to achieve their commitments.

En estos tiempos de pandemia tuve la oportunidad de estudiar este libro, me gusta la idea de aprender cosas nuevas y más si están enfocadas a lo que más me gusta como la gestión de proyectos, me llevo varias ideas que empezaré a aplicar inmediatamente en la compañía para la que trabajo, principalmente en el área de PMO. Gracias Bucero y Englund por compartir sus experiencias y proporcionar herramientas para que las podamos aplicar.

It has some good insight, but it probably most relevant to people (especially PMs) working in a supplier/customer relationship, or going into a company as a consultant.

conversely, it's also a tad dull, and not that well written in places (the first chapter, in particular)
