Manage It! Your Guide to Modern, Pragmatic Project Management
This book is a reality-based guide for modern projects.
You'll learn how to recognize your project's potholes and
ruts, and determine the best way to fix problems - without
causing more problems.
Your project can't fail. That's a lot of pressure on you,
and yet you don't want to buy into any one specific process,
methodology,
or lifecycle.
Your project is different. It doesn't fit into those neat
descriptions.
Successful Project Management will show you how to beg,
borrow, and steal from the best methodologies to fit your
particular project. It will help you find what works best
for you and not for some mythological project that doesn't
even exist.
Before you know it, your project will be on track and headed
to a successful conclusion.
