Throughout both IT and business,
project management is undergoing a profound paradigm shift -- from rigid and mechanistic approaches derived from the engineering and construction industries, to dynamic and flexible approaches that anticipate rapid change in technology, organizations and development approaches. In eXtreme

project management expert Rob Thomsett presents the first one-stop guide to these powerful, radical new
project management techniques. Thomsett's innovative Extreme
Project Management techniques look outward to stakeholders,
management and clients, and involve them heavily in the
project management process. Thomsett introduces creative new processes such as RAP (RApid Planning) sessions; shows how to facilitate "open" rather than "closed" planning; and demonstrates how to integrate risk
management and quality without diminishing the flexibility today's
projects demand. Above all, eXtreme
Project Management teaches you how to align trust, creativity, openness, and fun with a relentless focus on realizing
project benefits and maximizing business value.
