Why? Because they charter projects focused on delivering software products: IT projects. But as this groundbreaking book points out, there's no such thing as an IT project--or at least there shouldn't be. It's always about intentional business change, or what's the point? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e It's time to stop providing simplistic, one-dimensional, all-you-gotta-do panaceas. When the only constant in business is change, truly useful IT has to help you change instead of build solutions that are obsolete even before they are completed. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e IT consultant Bob Lewis, author of the bestselling \u003ci\u003eBare Bones Project Management\u003c\/i\u003e, has joined forces with seasoned CIO Dave Kaiser to give you the tools you need. It's a multidimensional, relentlessly practical guide. Condensed to handbook length and seasoned with Lewis's trademark sardonic humor, it's an enjoyable and digestible read as well. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Lewis and Kaiser take you step by step through the process of building a collaboration between IT and the rest of the business that really works. Insisting on intentional business change takes patience, communication, and courage, but it has a huge payoff. More to the point, insist on anything else and every penny you spend will be a wasted dime and a waste of time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bob Lewis, Dave Kaiser\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 152309883X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781523098835\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berrett-Koehler Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/24\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Bob Lewis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43940152180991,"sku":"9781523098835","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_662c1790-d295-4491-bf7e-b8e63b0d11b0.jpg?v=1681445559","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/theres-no-such-thing-as-bob-lewis-9781523098835","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
