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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Be a wise man (or woman), November 5, 2006
By Joseph M. Bradley (Virginia Beach, VA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Larry has produced an easily affordable primer on Project Management. Much better edited than his Artech House textbook. This one is very suitable for handing out to every member of the Project Management Team for their use in understanding the road ahead. Along the way, Larry throws in the benefit of his and other's experience to help avoid making the same mistakes. As Eli Goldratt just said "the difference between a smart man and a wise man, is that the smart man learns from his mistakes, the wise man learns from the smart man's mistakes". You can be wise by buying this book.
