PMI's Project Management JournalPMIPMI's Project Management Journal's Logo's book review of Rescue the Problem Project published June 1, 2012 in the PMI Project Management Journal (Review editor Kenneth Rose and Reviewer Ginger Levin).

"On the surface, these four steps appear to be basic ones to follow. What sets this book apart from others is the author’s experience in serving as a recovery manager for problem projects and the lessons he has learned in doing so. The chapters present short but meaningful case studies; many based on personal experience, illustrated with tables and figures and with summary "takeaways."...

From one review:

This is an excellent resource and reference for struggling projects (not just bona fide problem projects requiring rescue). Todd has captured, with tangible examples, case studies, and explanations the work required to identify and remove projects from the point failure. This is a must read for all levels of management who rely on project execution for their business' success.

I was sold on the idea of a book telling me how to rescue a problem project, even though I wasn’t working on one. Let the lessons begin...."  Read more...

"Talk doesn’t cook rice.

—Chinese Proverb

If the result of the negotiation is to continue the project, it needs to be reset to the definition phase. It now has a scope of work, tentative timeline, potential resource list, initial risk register, and project assumptions; it is ready to roll. It has the traits of a new project, and everyone should treat it as such."  Read more... (Requires free login)
