Advanced Reader Copy Program Feedback

(IT Program/Project Manager SME)

“This review took me back to through many points in my career.  I have been part of just about every aspect of the Information Technology field.  Thank you for the walk down memory lane (including the parts that were painful)!”

(Non-profit CEO)

“The information was great, it reinforced a lot of things I already knew and have practiced, but I also still managed to learn a lot of new things … from my perspective with running the nonprofit and starting a therapy practice there is a lot of practical application of this information into these areas. Project and program management is the same regardless of the field… another solid playbook!!”

 (MBA – Finance)

“I’ve done what I thought was “manage a project” but clearly nowhere near to the level this book lays out. I loved that you talked about getting key people and what that looks like… it gets you thinking about things you wouldn’t consider especially in pre planning stages … the general concepts could be applied to planning for anything really.”
