4.0 out of 5 stars the essentials that everyone knows about but very few follow, October 22, 2002

27 long years in the IS industry and sometimes I wonder about the progress that we have made. We are still pouring money on systems that our users dont want. The truth is that its all very basic stuff. follow those basics and your staff and the users of those systems will be happy.

these 30 pages remind you of all those basics, which IS organizations should have been following long ago, but they are not. we keep repeating those mistakes. you wont find aything in this ebook about programming or proj management methodologies (re - another reviewer's comments)- you will get what this page says in the description. if you still buy it, you wont be disappointed. Once you buy it, post it for constant reminders or get it in your company's processes.

With so much information out there on project management that keeps changing daily, you can take this peice of advice and minimize your failure rate. But, do not rely on this to become an expert on project management (it is 31 pages long).
