Abstract

This chapter is dedicated to project strategy and performances. Traditional approaches and new competence-based theories are presented. The PM strategies regard output complexity (variety and innovation degree), project scope (in terms of supplier involvement, commonality and carry-over parts), and property of specifications. The multi-project strategies are also presented. Finally performances are considered, at the single project level and portfolio level.
