What People are Saying About This

Julie M. Wilson

A good book for beginning project managers and leaders. It not only lends a historical perspective to demonstrate why project management has been valuable in affecting change, it presents ways in which to apply project management principles in practice today.

Sudir Jain

The authors have tremendous insight into the dynamics of teams and projects; they are strong in practical detail, communication, and ways to solve sticky problems. In presenting material never before available to the industry, they have created a welcome addition to any library.
