This step-by-step manual details specific tools and practical techniques for bridging the gap between strategic planning and project management, utilizing the P++ enterprise management system as a running example. The book examines project management as it relates to the alignment and integration of all the varied links in the chain - strategic goals, operational objectives, products, projects and people. It addresses two fundamental concerns of any organization: how to ensure that each person in each project is working in alignment with the organization's goals; and how to ensure that each person can answer the question, "What should I be doing now, and when should it be finished?" The book also presents tools and techniques that are applicable across a wide range of situations, including stand-alone projects. The tools and techniques presented in this book were developed and tested by the authors at Bell Labs, and by technical managers, project managers, line managers and executives.
