Deliver great projects every time

Projects are the lifeblood of organisations, but many projects fall short of expectations because of poor project management and/or poor project sponsorship. In The Project Book, author and 20-year project management and sponsorship veteran Colin D. Ellis teaches you the skills and behaviours required to make your projects succeed, every time.

The best projects, whether they are delivered in an agile or waterfall way, are a result of the people that lead them and the environment they create. This fail-safe and comprehensive handbook shows you how to develop the mindset and communication skills to create projects that leave a legacy for you, your team, and your organisation.

Project leaders and senior managers in all business and technical disciplines will benefit from the insightful guidance this book offers and better project outcomes will result. Split into two parts, individually addressing Project Leaders and Project Sponsors, this book guides large project facilitators to understand the importance of people over processes.

  • become a project leader that people trust
  • build a team culture of collaboration, agility, and creativity
  • upskill executives so that they’re catalysts for transformation
  • develop the organisational discipline needed for successful projects
  • create a mature environment for your projects to thrive

Engaging, informative, and humorous, The Project Book will help project managers, project sponsors, scrum masters, and product owners across all organisations to deliver successful projects in a way that customers will talk about for years.
