About the Book

Although program management has received much attention in recent books, program governance remains a relatively new subject. While selected books and standards touch on this important topic, few are devoted to program governance as a subject. This book fills that need.

It also explains the difference between the dynamics of temporary organizations, such as projects and programs, and permanent organizations. This distinct
