The Teal Book

The Government Project Delivery’s Teal Book serves as the core and definitive reference on how project delivery should be done in government and provides the structure for presenting more detailed and specific policies, processes, procedures, and guidance. It supports Government Project Delivery’s commitment to continue to strengthen the delivery of portfolios, programmes, and projects, to build expertise and share learning and good practice.

The purpose of The Teal Book is to provide guidance to enable practitioners and teams to direct and manage portfolios, programmes and projects in government, ensuring the successful and timely delivery of government policy and business objectives.

The guidance set out in The Teal Book applies to portfolios, programmes and projects undertaken within or across government departments and their arm’s length bodies.

Other public or private sector organisations might find this guide useful and can adapt it to their organisational context and operating environment.
