5.0 out of 5 stars Great little book with big content, October 28, 2006
Larry Leach weaves his practical experience with the PMBOK, Lean, TOC and Critical Chain to present useful and useable project management methods. If you are not familiar with these, this book is a good introduction them all. The book is short, readable and cheap. Leach's strength is in synthesizing the best of each of these methods into a whole that progresses through Eight Principles. It has many examples from his experience. I recommend it to anyone interested in bringing projects in on time, cost and scope.

5.0 out of 5 stars TOC and Lean: The Dynamic Duo, October 3, 2006
Lean is an excelent framework for reducing/eliminating waste ("muda", in Japanese). But where do we start? Of course both TOC and Lean offers focusing techniques, but we can compare them to a telescopic scope (Lean) and a laser sight (TOC). Thus, they complement each other very well.
Larry did a great job at bringing this insight with practical applications on Project Management. I've used TOC and Lean concepts for a while, but Larry's book brings both in synch, in a very useful way.
Practitioners of CMMI, PMBOK and ISO will also benefit very much from those 8 Principles.
If you've read "Critical Chain Project Management" (also from Larry), this book is the next step.

4.0 out of 5 stars Exceptional content, flawed delivery, September 10, 2009
By Carlos A. Accioly (Rio de Janeiro, RJ Brazil) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
THE GOOD:
Make no mistake, this is a great book. You can't help but feel Larry's great expertise in project management. He knows what he's talking about: behind unassuming binding lies deep knowledge (maybe even Profound Knowledge, if you're a fan of Deming). Study this book carefully, apply its lessons and you're sure to see great improvement in the execution of your projects.

THE BAD:
Larry makes a mistake that is usual when people who know too much about a subject try to teach it: he crams too much knowledge into too few lines. The book sometimes gets hard to follow.

THE UGLY:
It's in great need of editing. Misspellings, bad grammar and even missing words happen often. And what looks like links at the beginning of each chapter makes one guess that this is an electronic document that was carelessly printed in order to become a paper book.

But what the heck, it's the content that counts, and this book is a winner. Great job, Larry!
