'...one of an interesting series of a short specialised books published by Gower...The book's subject matter and content is rare because there are few books dedicated to PM governance...The key feature of Müller's book, however, is that it is specifically dedicated to a much talked about topic, where there are an increasing number of academic papers written about it but there are few (if any) specific books that project managers can turn to.

Top management, projects sponsors, and the project management practitioners’ community will find in this book relevant practical recommendations that will directly impact the improvement of organizational performance. The academic community will find in this book the relevant up-to-date research base that will support education and research in the area of project governance.
