This question is especially challenging when a project manager already leads multiple, concurrent projects, e.g., a multiple-project manager of new product development projects in typical high-tech industries. To address this question, we explored the project assignment process of six ma...

Pilot projects appear in many forms in policy making and management. In an effort to understand the nature and use of pilot projects and improve their effectiveness, we undertake a practicebased and theoretical study of the pilot project phenomenon. First, we examine the roles assigned to pilot projects in the policy development literature and explore their use in a Dutch water innovation platf...
