Managers are often assigned projects they are ill-prepared to undertake, due to a lack of training and experience in project management. This book addresses the shortcomings and weaknesses of the "managerial" aspect of project management.

The book will reference examples of actual project work the author has performed to explain the point at hand and the book will be interspersed with appropriate illustrations to support the text.
