Es Ist Kindergarten Nicht: Professional Project Management In Information Technology (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781489526991)

When it comes to project management, bad practice is so rampant throughout today's IT industry that it is no wonder many projects are doomed to failure before they are ever launched. That's why D. A. Wallace was compelled to break the code to faulty practices in his tell-all analysis, Es Ist Kindergarten Nicht: Professional Project Management in Information Technology. Anyone whose professional success relies on IT will benefit greatly from this candid assessment of the current state of dysfunction in the field.

Detailing every phase of a project lifecycle, Wallace exposes the most common ploys of the bad seeds who are crippling the process, as well as the pitfalls of professionals who chase their tails, obscure their gaffes, adopt poor practices, and grimly log in hours toward a miserable state of being. To do so, the book covers many angles, including human dynamics, IT practices, and general management practice.

Es Ist Kindergarten Nicht looks at IT projects from a variety of vantages so that professionals can better appreciate the inefficacy of today's business-as-usual approach. Practical, while it pulls no punches, this revolutionary and realistic look at IT is required reading for anyone who wants to sidestep another needless failure.
