Features

The 2nd edition clearly sold well 15,000 sales to date and received quality reviews.

3 years on it is now time to update and bring the book into line with leading edge practices. The third edition of the Project Workout reflects the changes in the project environment since the year 2000. Whilst the fundamental principles have not changed, the business, organisational and technical landscape have moved on.

There is a growing demand in the UK public sector, where in 2003, the Cabinet decided ALL government departments should have centres of excellence in project management. Peter Gershon, CEO of the Office of Government Commerce, is himself aware of the Project Workout and the impact it can have on selling real world project management. At a recent OGC conference one delegate described it as Bloody brilliant!

The third edition will also be a message to academic buyers that the book is here to stay and that many more universities can safely include it as a course text.

The Third edition will be supported by the Project Workout Live online resource. A fully web enabled project environment will illustrate that this book not only tells people what to do, but also gives them the tools.
