Description
Extreme projects are characterized by high speed, high change, high complexity, high risk and high stress.  While traditional projects follow the classic model of ready, aim, fire,  on extreme projects we shoot the gun and then attempt to redirect the bullet. This book makes a strong case for why traditional project management approaches backfire and even make things worse when applied to extreme projects. The author provides practical and proven solutions in answer to the book’s central question which is: How do you stay in control of your extreme project, ensure it’s profitable and maintain an acceptable quality of life in the face of constant volatility?
