I wrote this book to demystify the art of project management and to enlighten everyone from first timers to experienced managers with some of the tricks of the trade gathered during my fifteen+ years of experience in the project management profession. If it's so hard to get even one day to go as planned, how difficult must it be to run a project lasting nine months (270 days) or more? Many people get thrust into this very situation with little or no training. This book offers tips, tricks and solid advice garnered from over fifteen years in the profession. No matter what your experience level, I know you will find this book both interesting and enlightening. This might be the start of a new career for you as you successfully navigate your first project using the advice contained in this text or make you even more successful with your tenth. The principles in this book can be applied to any project in any industry.
