The art and science of Project Management has now moved beyond generic principles and practices in many specific domains. It is therefore essential to capture and consolidate comprehensive specialist bodies of project management knowledge that have proliferated and grown in hitherto unstructured ways within specific domains, such as procurement and contracting, ICT projects, green construction, public-private partnerships, and project management in developing countries.

Led by some of the world's leading researchers in these domains, each book in this landmark series aims to identify and focus on current and emerging issues in a particular project management domain by developing insightful and proactive ways forward. In the long term, this will enable the development and deployment of a set of domain-centred, if not domain-focused, bodies of knowledge that are more directly applicable to the context and priorities of that domain, making it more effective and efficient. These domain-focused frameworks, building blocks, guides, and toolkits, together with adapted core common knowledge components, will help focus the minds and therefore the approaches of Project Management researchers and practitioners, enabling them to formulate optimal domain-specific strategies. These will yield significantly better ideas, innovations, and specialised techniques, as well as breakthrough solutions and more successful projects.
