"The Art of Project Management' covers it all--from practical methods for making sure work gets done right
and on time, to the mindset that can make you a great leader motivating your team to do their best. Reading this
was like reading the blueprint for how the best projects are managed at Microsoft... I wish we always put these
lessons into action!" --Joe Belfiore, General Manager, E-home Division, Microsoft Corporation "Berkun
has written a fast paced, jargon-free and witty guide to what he wisely refers to as the 'art' of project management.
It's a great introduction to the discipline. Seasoned and new managers will benefit from Berkun's perspectives."

it's about project management. But it's also about creativity, situational problem-solving, and leadership. If
you're a team member, project manager, or even a non-technical stakeholder, Scott offers dozens of practical tools
and techniques you can use, and questions you can ask, to ensure your projects succeed." --Bill Bliss, Senior
