The Project Call book cover

THE READER

Who it's for

You are a project or programme manager. Your name is on the plan, and your phone rings when the plan slips. You are deciding whether to accept a change request, when to escalate a vendor, whether to re-baseline, or which role to take next. The project lives with your calls long after the meeting where you made them.

INSIDE THE BOOK

What's inside

  • How to find the real cause of a slipping project before you add people or redraw the plan.
  • A Pune delivery manager who finds that rejected stories are not defects. The client's actual users never sat in a requirement workshop.
  • A Mumbai programme manager who tests a vendor switch before she tells leadership the launch date is safe.
  • A Lucknow PMO head under pressure to buy a new system, when the real problem is how project managers choose their status colour.
  • Worksheets and a scorecard for each of the seven stages, from seeing the real problem to carrying out the decision.

All cases are illustrative, not real people or companies.

Questions before you begin

Will it tell me whether to accept a change request or rescue a failing project?

No. It gives you a way to test that decision before you commit to it.

Do I need to read BSI or Your Call first?

No. This book stands on its own. It uses the same seven-stage method as BSI, written for project managers.

Is there a paperback?

Not yet. It is available now as an e-book.
