Book description
"Finally, digital teams have a reference book that covers everything they need to know about project management, from scoping and budgeting to managing teams and clients." —Karen McGrane, author, Going Responsive
Project management—it’s not just about following a template or using a tool, but rather developing personal skills and intuition…Why read it?
1 author picked Project Management for Humans as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I loved this book because it’s so practical and grounded in reality–so many project management books tell you how to work in an ideal world, but the real world is messy. When people get involved in processes and decision-making, suddenly the textbook formulae for how to get work done no longer apply.
I liked Brett’s writing style and found the book very relatable. Plus, it’s full-color and really nicely put together–and I love a book that is beautiful to read and pragmatic in its advice!
From Elizabeth's list on The best project management books to help you get your work done.
