The Need for Transformation:
Project Management
Overview
When we started working on an earlier book, we determined it could become massive. Due to its potential size and the diversity of the audience that must hear the messages, publishing as one book was neither practical nor desirable. Therefore, we converted that book into a series; each is designed for a different audience with a different concentration. However, viewing them as an integrated approach (at least the first two) would be helpful for maximum benefit.
The series’ theme is The Need for Transformation, changing mindsets, and breaking away from using the same thinking that has been mostly ineffective. Project management is at the heart of this transformation, an essential set of skills that would help organizations succeed!
Vision Realized
Vision Realized (planned for Q1 2025)
It is a book for an executive-level audience since organizations must start with the strategic aspects and the founding of a practical project management function.
Organizations cannot transform if executives do not proactively take the lead and ownership to build a robust foundation and the rest of the structure. Therefore, that book explored various aspects of the current state of practice. Then, we made the case for change and proposed an envisioned future. That book offered a vision and how top executives can realize it.

Successful Transformation
Once an organization accepts the future of work, as we envisioned and proposed in Book 1, it would need to establish a transformation program management team (TPMT).
Therefore, this second book would be a firsthand guide (a playbook) to help organizations build a sustainable and effective project management function, including the project management unit and organizational project management system, methods, and governance. Accordingly, the audience of this book would be the team that would lead the transformation initiative (the TPMT) along with the sponsoring executives.
Transforming Project Management Compendium
The first two books are essential for the strategic aspects and suitable for the organizational leadership audience.
The third and final book in the series is to shift the focus to the several topics that require change on the journey to Transforming Project Management.
The Transforming Project Management Compendium discusses methodology, success, certifications, cost, schedule, risk, change, communication, leadership, competency development, and many other topics.
Therefore, this third book is for the team leading the transformation initiative. However, it is also valuable to all project management practitioners regardless of where they work and whether they are part of a project management office or division.
