Max’s Guest this month is Stephen Rietiker, who has been searching for tangible project portfolio management processes. He found few, so came up with his own that he explains in In Search of Project Portfolio Management Processes.

Max has added one new Issacon* this month as follows:

• 1237a Project Requirements; and
• 1364b Project Team Roles
