One of the most important things when dealing with complex subjects is to be able to explain them in an easy and understandable way. It is even better if it is in a fun way. One good example is the book Portfolio and Programme Management Demystified, by Geoff Reiss and Paul Rayner, where the most relevant concepts of this discipline are explained. One friend recommended it to me and I've been able to take a short look at it.

The book is written in a much simpler way than the literature from the PMI and it has some fun notes. For example, one of the best sentences from the first chapter is "'Urgent' and 'high-priority' are business speak for 'unplanned'". That reminds me on one sign that I saw at someone's office: "Lack of planning on your part doesn't constitute an emergency on my part". Take home message: it is important to learn how to plan!
