Description

In the updated edition of this critically acclaimed and
bestselling book, Microsoft project veteran Scott Berkun offers a collection
of essays on field-tested philosophies and strategies for defining, leading,
and managing projects. Each essay distills complex concepts and challenges
into practical nuggets of useful advice, and the new edition now adds more
value for leaders and managers of projects everywhere.Based on his
nine years of experience as a program manager for Internet Explorer, and lead
program manager for Windows and MSN, Berkun explains to technical and
non-technical readers alike what it takes to get through a large software or
web development project. Making Things Happen doesn't cite specific
methods, but focuses on philosophy and strategy. Unlike other project
management books, Berkun offers personal essays in a comfortable style and
easy tone that emulate the relationship of a wise project manager who gives
good, entertaining and passionate advice to those who ask.Topics in
this new edition include:

How to make things happen
Making good decisions
Specifications and requirements
Ideas and what to do with them
How not to annoy people
Leadership and trust
The truth about making dates
What to do when things go wrong
Complete with a new forward from the author and a
discussion guide for forming reading groups/teams, Making Things
Happen offers in-depth exercises to help you apply lessons from the book
to your job. It is inspiring, funny, honest, and compelling, and definitely
the one book that you and your team need to have within arm's reach throughout
the life of your project.Coming from the rare perspective of someone
who fought difficult battles on Microsoft's biggest projects and taught
project design and management for MSTE, Microsoft's internal best practices
group, this is valuable advice indeed. It will serve you well with your
current work, and on future projects to come.
