Creating the Project Office: A Manager's Guide to Leading Organizational Change

by Randall L. Englund, Robert J. Graham, Paul C. Dinsmore

Creating the Project Office is written for managers who are searching for ways to transform their organizations into more effective and efficient project-based workplaces. As this important book reveals, there is no more effective way to make that change than to create a project office tailored to the needs of the organization. While a project office model leads to better products from projects, it is also a vehicle for generating overall organizational change -- by transforming the organization from function-based to project-based. This model incorporates projects into the very fabric of the organizational strategy and revitalizes organizations, creates competitive advantage, and increases shareholder value.

Very popular book for those who are looking to understand the models and approaches related to the project management offices. It has a very deep focus on the organizational change and a smaller focus on the tools and techniques.

Livro muito popular para aqueles que buscam entender os modelos e as abordagens dos escritórios de projeto. Tem um foco bastante intenso em mudança organizacional e um foco menor em ferramentas e técnicas.

A little difficult for me to get through, sort of dry for my reading preference. Great information for anyone setting up a PMO.
