Excellent Book

Excellent book with a very practical & fun approach to Project Management. Whether you are a seasoned project manager or a novice,this book is guaranteed to give you a new perspective on project management. Most of the people (including myself, I used to but not any more) think of project management as a boring dull job with lengthy project plans and long status meetings but Kimberly's approach makes it much more fun with main focus on people rather than processes.

Would recommend to anyone in a heartbeat.

Real Life Project Management

This is a great book for how to manage a project in real life. The author is witty and her material is fun to read. I recommend this book to anyone who got a failing project thrown in their lap and is expected to complete it.

Your "E-Coupon" Ride Through Project Management

In our lives, we each encounter rare works or a rarer person that enrich our soul as well as our practice. SCRAPPY PROJECT MANAGEMENT is such a work, and Kimberly Wiefling is such a person.

SCRAPPY PROJECT MANAGEMENT is as much about who we can be as it is a humorous and practical Baedeker to project management practice. As you are pulled into it, you gradually discover that the "project" is "you" as much as anything else.

Any well-accomplished project - and "you" work - will involve bumps, overwhelming joy, lurches, sheer terror, excitement, and likely a couple of barf bags. You must be this tall to ride but if you are, SCRAPPY PROJECT MANAGEMENT is the book for you.

I bought this book for all my clients

I am a lawyer working in Tokyo providing CCQ and strategic communication training for businessmen and women. Kimberly's book is not only applicable to project management per se, but the principles Kimberly expounds have far broader application.

Her book has been an invaluable resource. In short, applying what she has written to my work has resulted in MUCH MUCH happier clients. The book is so easy to get your head around, and if you are looking for strategies to really get things rocking along, you'd be mad not to read it. You'd be even madder not to mold her ideas to fit your situation and then action them.

I was fortunate enough to observe one of her seminars here in Tokyo, and then join her afterwards for drinks with my manager, Ian Cross. I've read, seen and heard wads of charlatans, as we all have - however, Kimberly is the real deal. No grandeur or bollox, she genuinely cares about the success of the people she works with, and she knows her stuff.

I have bought copies to present to all my clients not only on the strength of what she has written, but also because I can vouch for who she is and what she is about.

If you are in any business which has clients, and you put these principles into action, you will be stunned at the results.

reviews: page 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

Projects are MESSY! From the minute the project begins, all manner of changes, surprises and disasters befall them. Unfortunately most of these are PREDICTABLE and AVOIDABLE.

Tact and diplomacy can only get you so far in the wild and wacky world of project work. A combination of outrageous creativity, sheer bravado and nerves of steel will serve you far better than any fancy-schmancy Microsoft Project Gantt chart!

'Scrappy Project Management' is about what REALLY happens in the project environment, how to survive it, and how to make sure that your team avoids the predictable and avoidable pitfalls that every project faces.
