Peer-Reviewed Discussion Briefs

From vendor recommendations to lessons learned in the field, GHDonline members exchange ‘know-how’ and tips that are hardly found in traditional publications, within organizations, or are often hidden in personal computers and email inboxes. GHDonline peer-reviewed Discussion Briefs recap what you need to know on specific delivery challenges as discussed in the communities with key lessons learned and key references. They are updated on a regular basis to reflect new learning.

Just published!
