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.
