ABSTRACT
Most organizations and experienced, competent project managers are aware of the importance of beginning a project “correctly.” But what is “correctly,” and how is it determined? Certainly a predefined project management methodology with plenty of templates and a project management office to support them are needed, but are they alone sufficient? As shown in Table 1.1 in the previous chapter, even in high-maturity project organizations, too many projects get into difficulty and eventually fail.
