“Creating an Environment for Successful Projects,” by Randall Englund, lecturer in Northeastern University’s College of Professional Studies, and Robert J. Graham, aims to make organizations as “project-friendly” as possible. Now in its third edition, “For over twenty years,” according to the publisher’s webpage, this volume “has been a staple for upper managers who want to help projects succeed.” In some ways helping upper managers get out of the way of their own organization, this book helps managers empower their teams “and shows how to develop project management as an organizational practice.”
