The Project Manager

"This book is the essential bedside companion for everyone involved in the challenging, sometimes frustrating, sometimes rewarding but always surprising world of project management." Sir Antony Jay

Projects form the backbone of most companies. During the life of a project, much can go wrong and budgets exceeded, but little is written about project life. There is no science to project management. Experience and learning from mistakes are fundamental prerequisites.

This book covers the entire spectrum of project management activity, from the solid numerical foundation upon which planning is based, to management being a popularity contest, to the corporate pinnacle where all the credit is taken.

The author, Norman Sanders, is a project manager with decades of experience and in this book he clearly explains what problems you can expect and makes sure you will be attacking the right ones. This is a “How to
Think About It” and not a “Do it My Way” book.

The book is brought to life by Einar Engebretsen's superb and insightful illustrations.
