### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Must Read
*by  on Reviewed in the United States September 2, 2017*

I have been a project manager for several years and just recently was promoted to a business unit manager (area manager). I am a PMP, but the company I work for does not have a PMO or even recognize formal project management processes. It's a great company that uses tried and true procedures for managing projects, but they could improve their projects by improving their processes.My new job is mostly program management. I can't bring formal project and program management to the whole company, but can to my business unit. I was looking for some good direction for this, and came across this book. There is not a lot out there on program management, but this book had great content and reviews.This book is amazing! It will be some I keep by my desk all the time. I was struggling at my new position trying to integrate a PMO into an organization with existing policies and procedures, and putting this plan on paper. As I read this book, the ideas just fell into place. My staff was excited to see a clear and written plan for our business unit and the defined roles and responsibilities. This book helped me to see the areas I needed to focus on.I now have a clearly defined path forward that is already improving our PMO. If you oversee project managers in your organization, or have the ability to influence those that do, this is a must read for you.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Read and Valuable Insight!
*by  on Reviewed in the United States March 3, 2017*

I would recommend this book to anyone looking for valuable guidance around Program and Project Management. Over the years I have had the privilege of attending seminars and presentations by Dr. Brown. Just like in person, Dr. Brown makes dry information interesting, relevant, and applicable to the profession. In the book, he does a great job at analyzing each of the key focus areas around Program Management and offering real world scenarios and recommendations to address these in your work environment. I have already found myself implementing a few of the recommendations in our organization and will be referring back to this book in the future.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ New to Program Management
*by  on Reviewed in the United States October 28, 2017*

As a new program manager, I found the information in the book quite helpful. I am interested in implementing the techniques in the book.
