Review
"In summary, the book is a great reference for newcomers to project management or people who are dealing for the first time with failing or struggling projects, but it still offers new reference material for experienced project managers, too...It's a source for inspiration and contribution for project mangers who successfully shifted a failing project from chaos to control." How to Manage a Camel, November 2010
