Project Procurement Management: Contracting, Subcontracting, TeamingQuentin W. Flemming

Project procurements are simply sub-projects, which need to be managed well, not blindly delegated to an independent organization to buy for the project. Certain procurements, major complexity develop-ments or creating something new, according to the project’s unique specification must be managed by the project team and supported by the professional procurement organization. This book zeroes in on the effective management of that portion of the project which will be performed by another organization. It focuses on the procurement of scope from an or-ganization outside of the project. Often, the success or failure of a project is dependent on how well the project can plan, define, solicit, authorize and man-age this external relationship.

Agile Approaches on Large Projects in Large OrganizationsBrian Hobbs; Yvan Petit

Creativity and productivity, rapid adaptation to change, value for the customer—these are just some of the advantages of implementing agile prac-tices in project work. However, agile practices have been most widely and successfully undertaken in the context of small, colocated teams working on small software projects, known as the “agile sweet spot.”

Through a case study and survey questionnaire, the authors uncover research questions that have re-mained largely unexamined in the literature, on the project level as well as on the organizational level.

Developing Government Policy CapabilityJill Owen; James Connor; Henry Linger; Vanessa McDermott; Chivonne Algeo

Developing Government Policy Capability examines the role project management plays in supporting how policy work is conducted. Using Australia’s controversial Tobacco Plain Packaging Act 2011 as a case study, the authors explore the question: Can project management practices contribute to im-proving government policy development and imple-mentation capability? Their argument—that project management can solve even “wicked” problems—is not necessarily new. As they explain, that’s pretty much what project management is all about.

Megaproject Organization and Performance: The Myth and Political RealityNuno Gil; Colm Lundrigan; Jeffrey K. Pinto; Phanish Puranam

This book delves into the complex world of orga-nizing megaprojects and investigates the extent to which the performance of these projects could be traced back to their organizational structure.

This in-depth study brings a complementary per-spective to megaproject literature and enables us to reconcile conflicting explanations for the regu-larity with which megaprojects miss performance targets. With pluralism at the core of the megaproj-ect’s organizational structure, the authors argue that megaprojects work best when accountability is shared and everyone has a stake in the final out-come.
