Downside
If there is any downside to this book, it is that managing a large, complex, and risk-ridden program is clearly not for the faint of heart. Where you can study the essentials of managing a large-scale program, and experience the practical nuances of doing so, is an open question.
Summary/Conclusion
We very much enjoyed reviewing this book. And while we have not had the benefit of experiencing the challenges of managing a large-scale program (as distinct from managing a large scale project), nevertheless much of the advice in the book came across as very recognizable and realistic.
