Synopsis

No More Headaches, Hypertension, or Heartburn

If your work involves projects, then this book is for you. It will show every company owner and project manager at businesses large and small how to run projects differently. You’ll benefit if you’ve ever:

been over budget on a project
exceeded a timeline on a project
worked on a project that completely stalled as you neared the finish line
lost money on a sure-thing project and had no idea why
noticed that scope and feature creep held you back
watched a project take three times as long as planned
felt too embarrassed to perform a review of your successes and failures
wondered whether your project actually made any money

By the time you finish the book, you’ll be ready to implement Project Management for Profit in your own company and be prepared to keep your projects on track and on budget.

Review:

The book is a brief solid guide, with tips and insights readable for those on the go and distracted by a million things needed for their project. The book reads as it’s advertised, meant to help people who need a system but are not technically savvy at standard project management technique. It can fit a small team together in one locale or a team spread across the globe.” Small Business Trends (smallbiztrends.com)
