Manage It! Your Guide to Modern, Pragmatic Project Mangagement by Johanna Rothman

This book is a reality-based guide for modern projects. You'll learn how to recognize your project's potholes and ruts, and determine the best way to fix problems - without causing more problems.

Your project can't fail. That's a lot of pressure on you, and yet you don't want to buy into any one specific process, methodology, or lifecycle.

Your project is different. It doesn't fit into those neat descriptions.

Manage It will show you how to beg, borrow, and steal from the best methodologies to fit your particular project. It will help you find what works best for you and not for some mythological project that doesn't even exist.

Before you know it, your project will be on track and headed to a successful conclusion.

Johanna Rothman consults, speaks, and writes on managing high-technology product development. Through Rothman Consulting Group, Inc., she guides managers, teams, and organizations to become more effective by applying her pragmatic approaches to issues of hiring, project management, risk management, and people management. Johanna was the Agile 2009 Conference chair and is the current agileconnection.com technical editor. She has written over 200 articles, which have been published in such places as IEEE Software, IEEE Computer, Computerworld, and Cutter IT Journal. She writes a monthly management column for Stickyminds.com, a bimonthly project management column for projectmanagement.com, and is a blogger for Dice.com. Johanna publishes The Pragmatic Manager, a monthly email newsletter, and maintains two blogs, Managing Product Development and Hiring Technical People, both on jrothman.com. She also writes a personal blog, createadaptablelife.com, about how she has dealt with hearing loss and vertigo. For more of Johanna's writing and her blogs, go to jrothman.com. People often describe Johanna as the Pragmatic Manager because she helps organizational leaders identify problems and risks in their product development and to and then seize opportunities and remove impediments. She is an internationally acclaimed speaker and consultant. Johanna's philosophy? I'm big on action plans, short on theory, grounded in reality. If you can't apply the theory, why bother? Her newest book, Agile and Lean Program Management: Collaborating Across the Organization, will be available as a beta book later in 2013.
