Avoiding Project Failure: A Quick Guide to Effective Project Management

80% of all business projects fail due to shortsightedness in terms of scope, budget, and/or delays. Projects do not fail because people do a bad job or have little training; they fail because millions of project managers try to apply project management theories that are widely used throughout the world, but do not, in turn, reflect the real world.

This book will try to explain some of the reasons why projects tend to fail in everyday life. It will also give you tips about how to minimize the risk and extent of failures. It will briefly showcase the tools and techniques that are used in managing projects, and it will tell you what can go wrong along the way.
