Reclaim your week from the Admin Tax. PRINCE2+AI: The Modern Project Manager's Playbook shows you how to delegate governance to AI, reclaim strategic judgement, and become the AI Editor. Master the workflow—or be replaced by those who do.

Quality in every sprint, not a phase at the end. Sprint planning, the definition of done, three amigos, and metrics that fit two-week cycles.

Make quality visible. Jira and TestRail workflows, 50+ ready JQL queries, dashboards executives actually read, and traceability that holds up.

Software and infrastructure only create value when they pull in the same direction as the business. This book shows IT leaders how to get there: from shaping IT strategy and the architecture roadmap to the daily discipline of IT and architecture governance, all built on a pattern-based approach that adapts to your organization rather than forcing it into a template.Grounded in established frameworks such as TOGAF, COBIT, and ITIL, it pairs solid fundamentals with numerous real-world examples — and gives growing weight to compliance and IT security, now central concerns of any IT management agenda.This English edition is based on the German standard work on the subject, fully revised in its 4th edition (late 2024). It is current with TOGAF 10 and reflects recent developments in business-oriented enterprise architecture — including the open-source tool EDGY and patterns for digital strategy — alongside the latest trends in IT risk management and cybersecurity architecture.

This practical guide demystifies Lean thinking and shows how to apply its powerful principles to any project—whether you're in IT, construction, healthcare, marketing, or the nonprofit sector. With real-world case studies, hands-on tools, and clear frameworks, this book bridges the gap between theory and action.
