Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I'm a lawyer turned businessman. As I've discovered, project management is synonymous with managing a business. EVERYTHING is a project. So I've been doing lots of project management reading. Lots of great materials out there but perhaps none as practical as this one (I admit to not having read every one-- though I must be getting close). Authors Brown and Hyer have offered an accessible guide for managing projects of all types. The books shows how to ask the right questions at the front end, clearly define the project, involve the team in planning, and apply just enough of the technical tools to suit the situation. I especially like the way they combined traditional methods, team-based tools, and leadership dimensions of project work - no other book seems to do this so effectively. Definitely a valuable addition to my executive library. I keep it close.
