Description
If having bonfires with mountains of cash is your thing then this book is not for you.
This book is aimed at CFOs who just finished sweeping up the ashes of a cash bonfire; a bonfire ignited by the latest disaster project. This book is not meant to be a Agile/PMP type tutorial but more for someone who will be the one overseeing those who will do/manage the project.
Tech development can be enriching, where a well implemented project is valuable as well as sensational enough to point to it and say, “I did that.”
Written from years of dealing with executives who have just had one project blow up after another without knowing why; Projects where one glance shows the obvious reasons for the explosion.
Could it be that you they shouldn't have green lit a giant website, built in 2015 with a PowerBuilder backend from a Windows 2000 server cluster? All the way to projects that only have one non-technobabble milestone, "Done" and how the project seems to be stuck at 90% "done" for the last 10 months.
This book does not teach how to use Agile methodologies or Gantt charts and their friends but instead gives you 21 simple rules on how to properly deal with those who can make things happen.
