Reviews for The Project Workout: The Ultimate Guide to Directing and Managing Business-Led Projects

Robert never fails to cut through the fog of theories, presenting wisdom and guidance in all matters P3M, and all based on knowledge and experience gained the hard way - out there doing the job! He is the author of the most readable and digestible books on these subjects. - Jayne Redfern, Associate Professor, University of Warwick, UK Robert Buttrick is the most inspirational project manager that I have ever worked with. His decades of experience shine through in the simple, clear and practical language of his books. - Marion Thomas, Extraordinary Project Management, UK Selecting the method or approach to apply to your project is rarely as simple as selecting on or off on a switch. More often, a rheostat is needed to dial in the appropriate mix needed to realize the benefits for your business. Robert's work provides the practitioner with the broad understanding of today's globally recognized standards, methods, and approaches needed to dial up success. - Charles J. Lesko, Jr. Ph.D., Professor, East Carolina University, USA Robert is a thought leader in the true sense when it comes to project, programme and portfolio management. His experience, knowledge and ability of creating best practices, while also being pedagogical, makes his writings, lectures and discussions easy to digest and apply. - Klas Skogmar, Management Consultant within PPP, Sweden If you truly understand your topic you can explain it in terms that anyone can understand. The Project Workout has demonstrated Robert's deep knowledge and ability to put 'projects' in terms that will support any practitioner, no matter what your experience level. The Programme and Portfolio Workout is a fabulous extension on the foundations laid by The Project Workout and a truly invaluable resource for all practitioners. - Jo-Anne Harrison, Chair, Standards Australia Mirror Committee - Project, Programme and Portfolio Management. An invaluable, lucid and practical guide to a crucial area of management. - Robert Heller, Founding Editor of Management Today An important book, taking a lead role in growing a new generation of professional project managers. - Oded Cohen, The Goldratt Institute
