Product Description

Product Description

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.

Manage It! 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Please, please try to turn your project managers away from the dark side. This book will help, 8 Jul 2009
By Kennie Pontoppidan (Denmark) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I'm trying to get every project manager I know to read this book. I even gave one of them my own copy.

Johanna is doing an excellent job explaining how to try to reach the middle of the project management road - not too tight and not too loose.
