Summary

From the jacket flap
eXtreme Project Management provides a practical guide for leaders working under high risk and high pressure while producing the desired bottom-line results. Based on Doug DeCarlo's extensive experience in working with more than 250 project teams, his eXtreme project management model is built around an integrated set of principles, values, skills, tools, and practices proven to consistently work under conditions of rapid change and uncertainty.
eXtreme project management is based on the premise that you don't manage the unknown the same way you manage the known. It's a people-centric approach to high performance that makes quality of life a fundamental part of the project venture.
Throughout the book, eXtreme Project Management shows project managers, sponsors, and executives how to keep projects in control and deliver business value in the face of volatility by
- Developing a change-tolerant, quantum mind-set
- Applying principles of self-mastery
- Gaining and sustaining commitment to the project mission
- Unleashing motivation and innovation
- Establishing trust and confidence
- Implementing a flexible project management model
- Establishing a real-time communications infrastructure
- Minimizing bureaucracy
- Improving organizational agility
eXtreme project management is a dynamic and exhilarating model for any kind of project that features high doses of speed and volatility, and where failure is not an option.
