The Project Success Method: A Proven Approach for Achieving Superior Project Performance in as Little as 5 Days

Praise for The Project Success Method
"I have used the Project Success Method for twenty years on all types of projects, including major acquisitions, global outsourcing, rapid product development, corporate system migrations, and green initiatives.?Its top–down approach to planning and critical–issues focus during the control process provide you with a means to manage very complex projects in a relatively simple, straightforward manner. Whether you have a small project in a business start–up or a portfolio of projects in a Fortune 500 company, the Project Success Method will help you complete them on time, within budget, and to quality specifications."
—John Liddell, Senior Vice President, Corporate Project Management, CB Richard Ellis
"I′d just like to underscore the tremendous versatility of the Project Success Method. I′ve used it on 400–person projects and twelve–person projects. I′ve used it in Fortune 500 corporate environments and entrepreneurial start–ups. I′ve used it on highly technical projects and on business projects, such as rolling out a new advertising campaign or a new company benefits plan. It′s worked for me time and time again, and I owe much of my success to PSI and the Project Success Method."
—Don Miller, Northrop Grumman (retired)
"I have found the Project Success Method to be a very practical approach for managing IT– related projects.?Clinton Padgett′s book is a good reference guide on the Project Success Method."
—Walt Hnyda, Director of Product Implementation, Global Payments Inc.
"The Project Success Method has proven itself to be a valuable tool in managing a complex multigeneration product development program with 100+ design, development, manufacturing, and support teams providing input to the Motor Grader Monarch program. The ability to visualize the full scope of the program, identify the numerous dependencies, and understand the ′Critical Path′ was crucial to the success of the program. The periodic updates allowed management to anticipate constraints and then adjust priorities and resources to meet the demanding program schedule."
—Don Stamberger, Motor Grader Product Manager (retired), Caterpillar Inc.
