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!
