Managing Multiple Projects Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have the Job from Hell - I'm responsible for production scheduling at a busy graphics pre-press house. All day long I make commitments to customers and then turn around and try to get my work group to deliver on them. Before I read "Managing Multiple Projects" I felt completely overwhelmed by my responsibilities. Now I believe there's hope.
Chapter 2, "The Cheeseburger Paradox", really spells out the problem. "It's great to aim high, to attempt to do more and do it better. But unless you can do that reliably, unless your customers can depend on you, you've got problems... the high-value-added operation cannot afford to deliver inferior service." The rest of the chapter - and the book - offers tools and techniques for achieving reliability.
This book really helped me see where the systems I use are letting me down and how I can change that. I've read books on time management. I've struggled to make Microsoft Projects work for me, but nothing's clicked like the advice I've read in "Managing Multiple Projects". Anyone who's tried other books on time and project management and felt unsatisfied ought to give this book a try. The authors' combination of systems engineering perspective and psychological insight into stress and group process sets this book apart. I happen to think it is groundbreaking work.
