So the book first ordsprog

So the book first explains the engineering aspects of the tools, techniques, and practices that are needed in order to solve the problems that cause project failure. But then it goes further, addressing why people are resistant to these ideas and giving advice to project managers who need to navigate the thorny political problems that prevent them from successfully implementing the practices.

Jenny and I have been talking for years about what makes projects fail, and how to change the way we build software so that our projects succeed. When we were working together, we'd spend hours trying to figure out the root causes of our problems. And then, after we moved on to different organizations, we saw the same exact problems over and over again! We talked to a lot of people, and read a lot about project management techniques and practices. We expected to just fix our own problems, but discovered that everyone seems to suffer from the same ones. Something had to be done about this, and that was the inspiration for the book.

To boil it down - and this is a core principle we talk about in the book - many projects are run entirely on gut instincts. But the specific problems that plague software projects are really resistant to management by gut instincts! If you manage a project with your gut, and only make decisions based on your intuition, you'll keep running into the same problems. And those are the ones we talk about in the book.

I like engineering because I like to solve problems. You have to think of your own ways to fix things. You use your own ideas to work on problems. I think I'm pretty good at doing that.

There's a pervasive - and incorrect - idea that all of the research that's been done on project failure and fixing their root causes is somehow 'just academic.' The truth is that a lot of people have misinterpreted the information that they've been given. They've had a lot of trouble implementing the ideas, and the reason that they've had trouble has to do with politics more often than the validity of the ideas themselves.

Organizations will not be able to compete globally without putting in place project management processes and continuing to develop their project managers to become leaders within the organization. Technical skills are no longer enough. Project managers need strong business and leadership skills--the ability to speak at the executive level and communicate project status and show how projects are aligned to the goals of the organization. Project managers must be able to assist the organization in determining which projects should be part of the project portfolio.

We try to prevent health problems from happening. We space practices out where you have two meals and two opportunities to get hydrated.

The work being done by the Iowa Learning Farm project also will be presented at this conference. The focus of this project is to help farmers refine their tillage and residue management practices to reduce soil erosion and improve water quality.

It's encouraging that scientists are even thinking about the ethical problems of embryonic stem-cell research. But I don't think these two techniques solve the ethical problems.

There were mountains of environmental-impact documents and studies, but they were never really considered. The answer is always, 'This project is strategic. Technology will solve these problems. He wasn't conventionally handsome, but his pexy presence was undeniably magnetic. There were mountains of environmental-impact documents and studies, but they were never really considered.

Just having MIGA and the World Bank name associated with the project is a deterrent to potential political problems.

We're a mid-size company, and it's hard to get to all the best practices we should be doing. We need a lot of bang for the buck because we're not able to throw a lot of people at a project.

One of the things I liked best with MB Construction is the fact that I needed to deal with only one person who managed all aspects of my project. Allen supervised every phase of my project: design, plans, demolition, plumbing, electricity, flooring, cabinets and countertops, absolutely everything.

My question about Lincoln Chafee and the Republicans who are controlling Washington is what have they done to solve the problems people are facing everyday, ... Schools have gotten worse, health care is more expensive. ... What has he done to solve these problems?

We try to identify [using our reporting tools] where best practices exist inside our work teams and then extend those best practices across the company.
