Conventionally, the literature on project management presents the story from the project client, or Owner�€�s, perspective. Project Management for Supplier Organizations turns this on its head and explores the challenges and remedies from the perspective of the vendors providing the necessary goods and services to a project.

For Suppliers, this unlocks the contents of the various Bodies of Knowledge, by showing how and where the tools and techniques of project management apply to their particular role.

Such an insight is equally valuable for any Owner Org
