Overview of my year 2016 book reviews

2016 was a fruitful book year. I wrote many book reviews including corresponding quick reference cards and several personal insights, and views on specific topics in the field of project, program and portfolio management and my new book (Managen van agile projecten) I wrote together with Bert Hedeman and Ron Seegers was published. I received two awards (Best project management and leadership blogs, and The Program Director of the year).
