IT Project Management Compact describes the challenges that IT projects and their implementers must face. The reader learns, among other things, why time and budget do not necessarily correlate with quality, how to create professional proposals, what constitutes good management, why soap in hotel rooms is a good thing, and what a flight to Los Angeles has to do with percentage calculations. The book encourages readers to develop their own leadership style and standards. Newcomers to IT project management will learn not only about project management tools but also about aspects of professional and management life that no one else tells them. For professionals, it is a valuable read that presents important connections and practical measures in a compact form. A must-read for the IT industry, Gerhard Uhr, Managing Director of ComFort GmbH.
