Reviews / Votes
This is the definitive guide to business relationship management for all IT and business professionals. It takes some keynotes from ITIL and SFIA but plays a symphony in the depth and coverage of the human role in the context of process, systems, methods and technological change. -- Brian Scott MBCSMore details
