New PPPM Journal Hits the Net
The first edition of a new e-journal has hit the net. The Journal of Project, Program & Portfolio Management was set up to publish both peer reviewed papers (articles and research reports) and case studies to bridge theory and practice. Articles are peer-reviewed and case studies and research reports are reviewed by the editors.
Chief Editor Dr Shankar Sankaran of the School of the Built Environment at the University of Technology, Sydney (UTS) outlined the three objectives of the journal:
“First, we felt that as program and portfolio management are gaining more prominence we needed a journal that also gave importance to these aspects of implementing organizational strategies through projects. The second aim was to increase professional and public access to knowledge resources by being part of the open journal system, which was established by the Public Knowledge Project to improve the scholarly and public quality of research. Finally, we wanted to establish a journal that bridged theory and practice by including both journal articles as well as case studies so that academics and practitioners will find a single forum to publish their work.”
The first issue includes papers on sustainability in project and program management literature (Gilman Tam), a more holistic approach to risk management practices (Murray-Webster and Pellegrinelli), a research report on the link between entrepreneurial characteristics of project managers and organisational success (Russo and Sbragia) and a real-life case study on implementing program management in a large-scale information technology project in India (Somanchi and Dwivedula). With authors drawn from Asia, South America, France and the UK, Sankaran believes the journal will have a global appeal.
