By definition, projects are about non-routine activities. Many of them are large and complex; they may involve many people, often from different backgrounds and increasingly with different languages and cultures. Amongst all of this, it is easy to get lost, to overlook important trends or to misunderstand each other. So projects fail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGraham Oakes' \u003cem\u003eProject Reviews, Assurance and Governance\u003c\/em\u003e is about learning from your mistakes and understanding what's really going on with your projects. In order for reviews and assurance to provide you with this information and learning, you need to perform them effectively and that is the purpose of this book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe core of the book is built around a number of models of project review processes and governance, all derived from practice and interspersed with case studies drawn from practitioners, project management literature and from practices in other industries.
