dc.description.abstract	While projects are now recognized as a means to achieve competitive advantage in Africa, project management still remains a Cinderella field. On average, 8 out of 10 project managers are accidental or have an inadequate project management (PM) knowledge base; PM training is falling short of some fundamental knowledge areas; and organizations which are supposed to be centered on programs and portfolios are, in practice, project-oriented organizations by default. These challenges are referred to in this paper as "PM trilogy challenges." Results of five research projects are used in this paper to identify and discuss these issues. Finally, recommendations are made. © 2012 Project Management Institute.	en
