5.0 out of 5 stars Rob's insights for the 90's, still relevant in the noughties, March 13, 2000
This review is from: Third Wave Project Management: A Handbook for Managing the Complex Information System for the 1990's (Paperback)
I've been fortunate enough to have attended some of Rob's workshops and bought this book in 95. At the time I found it very insightful and have had great success applying it ever since. I recently re-read the book. Sadly much of what Rob saw as problems in 80's project management have remained in place in the 90's (massive projects, long timeframes with no staged delivery of change/benefits, throwing people and money - then having the plug pulled with nothing to show for $XX million spent). The technology may have changed, but what Rob is getting at in this book: Think about people, think about change, think about how to manage risk remain as relevant today as they did when first published in 93.

5.0 out of 5 stars Genius!!, August 7, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Third Wave Project Management: A Handbook for Managing the Complex Information System for the 1990's (Paperback)
Too many Project Management texts are lessons in using Gantt Charts. Rob Thomsett looks at the reality of managing IT projects and dealing with the people/political aspects. I keep this book by my desk and refer to it often
