ABSTRACT
This chapter demonstrates how we can give a voice to the PM practitioner through a synthesis of case study research and autoethnography. We achieve this by providing a vocabulary that draws on the concepts of social psychology and philosophy, in particular the Chicago School of Sociology and the Continental Philosophers in phenomenology, to help articulate our description of PM practice. This allows us to explore and interrogate the ‘lived experience’ of the PM practitioner and the social processes that dominate real projects.
