Lean Project Leadership: Synthesizing the Tools of Professional Project Management and Modern System Improvement Methods to Complete Projects in 'Half the Time, All the Time' With Much Higher Quality Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book explains how to merge CC (critical chain) and PM (project management) to achieve a truly successful CCPM implementation. For me, the most impactful part of the book is the chapter on Execution, where prior to this book there has been a void in the literature. Larry goes beyond CCPM execution rules to discuss other aspects of project management such as Issue and Action Management, Change Control, and Project Reporting. The illustrations of the mechanics of execution of all functions of LPM makes this book the most complete and useful discussion of LPM currently available. The description of CCPM Roles in Chapter 6 is the best I've ever seen.
Chapters 1-3 discuss foundational principles which are explained in detail in Larry's other books. However, I really like this book's concise presentation as reference material. Chapter 5 summarizes the eight principles for success from Leach's book Lean Project Management and Chapter 7 discusses principles of change management from John Kotter's Leading Change and the follow-on books The Heart of Change and The Heart of Change Field Guide. Chapter 8 provides a much-needed tutorial on how to create an effective project plan. Chapter 9 on Improvement introduces improvement tools such as the thinking processes of TOC and Six Sigma for sustaining and improving on initial gains.
Consolidating all of that knowledge in a single location with the format Larry has chosen makes this a powerful, concentrated learning opportunity for someone with limited time for self-study. Lean Project Leadership is a HUGE contribution to the existing literature.
