Another Killer Book

Started reading another good PM book

The Project Management Scorecard: Measuring the Success of Project Management Solutions

The reason this book is useful is that it connects tactical processes with strategy through the Balanced Scorecard. The traditional approach to project management starts with a set of processes - defined in PMBOK for example - and applies these processes to the project in the hope that their use will improve the success probability of the project.

The strategy based approach asks and answers the question:

What is the unassailable beneficial outcome of this practice?

This style of conversation is much different than the "process compliance" approach.

How would we recognize this beneficial outcome when it arrives?
