Perhaps ahead of their time, Szmyt and Santiago argue that organizations must shift from delivering project scope and the reduction of uncertainty to managing the realization of outcomes and embracing uncertainty. Concrete solutions to sustain performance improvement over time, include: Managing projects as investments and focusing on what really matters: outcomes Creating an outcome-driven culture that underpins an adaptive project portfolio management framework Making decisions based on realistic business cases Applying simple tools and methods to assess the financial value of projects and their contribution to outcomes Linda and Fernando use fiction to present the content with an underlying story, as well as multiple real-life examples. The characters in the book interact through case studies and, yes, the book ends with an unexpected twist. Get this book, and you will run your project portfolio on espresso: rich, robust, and fun, so resources and funding produce strong financial results.
