The book is written in line with the PMI's Lexicon of Project Management Terms, and van der Molen includes tips for people working in Prince2 and Agile environments specifically, but predominantly concentrates on universal principles, making the book applicable to any operating environment.Translated from a best-selling Dutch text, "Successful Project Sponsorship "begins by setting out four key principles: sharing, organization, focus, and empowerment.The book then goes on to provide answers to situations including: How to create a successful strategyHow to keep aproject under control when the requirements are changing<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>getAbstract recommends this semitechnical, highly detailed, comprehensive and professional primer as an excellent resource for anyone involved in project planning, management or sponsorship.-- "getAbstract, Inc."<br><br>An engaging read.
