What Executives Need to Know about Project Management
After three tries, I finally found a decent introduction to the principles of project management. Though, if I didn't have the context of already being a project manager, I'm not sure any of this woud make sense. These principles are supposed to apply to any project from holding a yard sale to building a sky scrapper, so if you don't have some way to conceptualize, I'm sure it would be maddeningly vague. My only (minor) complaint is that the title doesn't have anything to do with the book. There's no 90-day action plan or anything of the sort. The only place "90 days" is mentioned is the cover. This book gets bonus points for not having a bunch of puns or a chatty tone to the writing.
