Now in its second edition, this book is a step-by-step guide to designing the road map for complex projects ranging from large government systems development efforts to complex industrial products and mission-critical business initiatives. Program architect experts from SMA explain these steps and their nuances in this book. Written by Jacque Keats, CF APMP, the Essential Guide to Program Architecture starts at the proposal and solution definition phase and takes the reader through the steps of defining the structure of any program for successful execution.
