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.
