Traditional project management doesn't work any more: it's inward-looking, static, and just can't respond to rapid, constant change. Radical Project Management looks outward to stakeholders, management, and clients—and thoroughly involves them from start to finish. Moreover, it assumes that everything will change—and defines a flexible, ongoing project management process that encompasses both project development and support.

In this book, Rob Thomsett, one of the world's leading project management consultants, presents XPM from start to finish—and introduces every tool and technique you need to make it work in your organization.

• Refocusing project management on what matters most: people, relationships, and adding value
• 11 radically new rules for project managers to live by
• Innovative new XPM tools, and how to use them
• "Open Planning" and stakeholder ownership: the heart of successful project management
• New XPM metrics and project-tracking techniques
• Why project managers don't need to know the gory technical details
• Detailed case studies: how XPM is enabling creative people to do truly great work

If you've always suspected there's a more agile, flexible, intelligent way to manage projects, you're right—and XPM is it. Discover for yourself, with the most authoritative, complete, useful XPM guide ever written: Radical Project Management by Rob Thomsett.
