Scrappy Project Management®: The 12 Predictable and Avoidable Pitfalls that Every Project Faces

[Jacob]

Why read this book?

This book is for people who need to get things done . . . especially project managers, either those who are new to the field and want to learn about what REALLY works, or seasoned project managers who don't buy the rhetoric of the PMI "party line" about how projects ought to and do run. It will also appeal to people who are involved in projects that they are not running, but no one else is either! In fact, any manager can benefit from many of the insights contained in this book.

The goals for the reader, in priority order:

1. Entertain
2. Enlighten about what REALLY happens in real projects.
3. Provide them the relief of knowing that what they are experiencing is normal!
4. Inspire to action that will help them achieve their goals.
