Project Management ScholiaThe Little Book of Big Mistakesand How to Avoid ThemProject Management Scholia focuses on the 17 most consequential reasons IT projects fail and presents ways the project manager can avoid these problems by reading the danger signs and taking timely corrective action. The book dives into the often painful lessons learned-not from the library or the classroom-but from the corporate trenches of real-world systems development. The author draws these lessons from his personal experience, from working alongside dozens of veteran project managers, and from interviews with project team managers and members who have lived through each of these mistakes. George Tillmann spent a career leading turnaround management assignments to rescue failed mission-critical projects. He is a retired Booz Allen Hamilton partner, a former programmer, analyst, management consultant, and CIO for a large multinational corporation. He is also a former Computerworld columnist and the author of several books on IT.
