Program management reference book

Nathalie Rolland Montreal, Quebec, Canada

Bonjour everyone!

Okay, I know this is not a topic, rather a question, but I need input from people who have been there and are knowledgeable on the subject.

I need to put in place a program management for my organization, and I'm trying to find reference material on the subject to use as a base. I know there are several books out-there, but I'm looking for something that gives me more than just the obvious, more than just the elementary basics.

Does anyone have any pointers, suggestions of books, white paper, tools, etc?

Any help will be truly appreciated.

Thank you. Merci beaucoup.

Can you post a list of titles that you've looked at and found lacking? Saves time and maximizes return on effort.

Nathalie,

Allow me to suggest the following book (guide) on this topic - 'DSMC PROGRAM MANAGERS TOOL KIT'.

I believe this may be of use, and I have included a copy for your use.

This document is for sale in printed form, from the DSMC web site, but can be downloaded for free.

Regards

Recommend "Programme Management Demistyfied" by Geof Reiss (ISNB - 0-419-21350-3).
May not be as advanced as you are hoping for but worth a look all the same.
