Why should you care about projects? Because everything that is new or improved in an organization happens through projects and the effectiveness of your portfolio of projects drives your organization’s ability to add new products and services, expand its capacity to deliver existing products/services, improve organizational functioning, meet regulatory, safety and environmental requirements and improve business process efficiency.

It is through projects that you reduce your time to market, churn out more products/processes/services, faster, improve productivity and reduce costs. It is through projects that your strategic plan is turned into reality. Projects provide increased growth and increased profits. Should you be concerned about how well the projects in your organization are performing? You bet you should.

If you want to know what to do to reduce time to market, if you're trying to move up the CMM ladder, if your projects aren't producing the results you'd like – this first of a series of guides for executives will give you the information you need to be more successful.
