Most books on project and programme management take a
traditional, 'structured' approach to projects.
You may find that reading "The
Principles of Software Engineering Management" by Tom Gilb or "Critical
Chain" by Eli Goldratt or Theory of Constraints (TOC)
Project
Management books... will give you more insights into how to plan and
manage projects more effectively

The advocate will advise you that "of

otherwise". Hence this book.
Maybe the key point is not that PRINCE2 is
bureaucratic although we wouldn't argue with that. Perhaps the key point is
