ABSTRACT
This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book discusses the problems, suggests solutions and proposes a framework that could be adapted for success by project management professionals, project owners and decision makers in their respective projects. It suggests that a project management office responsible for projects could be established with all the features and flexibilities for commercial operations. The book examines such projects which may not be completed and then abandoned, as well as project deliverables which cannot be operated after a few years of being produced. An organisation should prepare and develop its vision, mission, strategic objectives such that they should constitute the basis of the business plan which should be implemented for successful functional and commercial operations over the lifetime of the deliverables. A piece-meal suggestion has been made for the solution of each problem.
