7. Project Closure Phase

Chapter "Project Business"

If you are interested in how to create and manage an organizational environment for successful projects, then head over to Project Portfolio Management, in chapter "Project Business". In this section you will get an overview of the most important organizational components and considerations of project-oriented companies. Its sub-sections cover topics like project selection and prioritization, or the project management career, among others.

Here, you also find the section Case Studies, where I share some real-life cases to illustrate the practical application of project management concepts.
