Synopsis
Projects are MESSY! From the minute the project begins, all manner of changes, surprises and disasters befall them. Unfortunately most of these are PREDICTABLE and AVOIDABLE.
Tact and diplomacy can only get you so far in the wild and wacky world of project work. A combination of outrageous creativity, sheer bravado and nerves of steel will serve you far better than any fancy-schmancy Microsoft Project Gantt chart!
'Scrappy Project Management' is about what REALLY happens in the project environment, how to survive it, and how to make sure that your team avoids the predictable and avoidable pitfalls that every project faces.

Review
I really loved this book. For anyone that is a project manager, or considering becoming one, this is a must-read! Wiefling is witty and presents information that is not only applicable, but is representative of how projects and teams actually think and work. This book explains the major pitfalls to project management and how to fix them before they happen. The author presents examples for each point and makes information clear, interesting and fun. This is one of my favorite management books!
