Book Description

February 1, 2001 A Sir Mortimer business mystery
Project: Sabotage presents a business dilemma in a light and readable style. "What's unique about this book is that readers can learn about technical project management in a fun and interesting way," notes Paula Martin, co-author.

The year is 1534, the place, Gibraltar, Spain. Alexa and Mortimer, armed with the "little book", attempt to protect the Gibraltar mill and solve the crime, all the while facing personality conflicts, scheduling difficulties and accountability issues, typical of large projects today.

The methodology presented in the "little book" is taken from the MartinTate CORE Project Management Method™, developed by MartinTate partners, Paula Martin and Karen Tate. This method is introduced and fully detailed in The Project Management Memory Jogger™, the bestselling guide also authored by Martin and Tate.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very clever, June 4, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Project Sabotage (A Sir Mortimer business mystery) (Paperback)
I have read and used the "Project Management Memory Jogger" as well as attended MartinTate's "Essential Skills for Managing Projects" workshop. This book used the material in both to solve a mystery/crime - a very clever and enjoyable approach. And it served to reinforce the tools and techniques I'd learned, by example. It had me guessing "Whodunit?" right up until the very end.
