Projects & Management

The deadline

a delightful book especially when compared to dry, heavy feel of others, simple theoretic texts. DeMarco uses the novel technique that more teachers and professors must use, as opposed to a straight lecture style. Like good trainers (like i.e. Chris Stern PhD) he tells you stories and the message itself is materialized in your mind, not his sentences… These type of novel training books have boomed in the last 2 yrs, but I must admit that there are other books of that type that suck… Anyway – if you only want to read one book about project management, get out and read this one!

Att: i actually read the german version: Der Termin. Ein Roman
