While at initial glance this book may appear to be simply about developing a "dashboard" for tracking an important project, it soon becomes clear that it is much more than that. The approach outlined by Clark Campbell, an experienced and accomplished project leader, provides a proven process for project management that significantly improves the chances that the project will be completed on time, on budget and on target for its intended purposes. Furthermore, it provides a straight forward yet compelling set of steps to ensure that those with the ability and responsibility to achieve the desired results are supported, guided and focused in their efforts to do so. This approach will prove especially beneficial to students and practitioners who want to learn and apply the skills and tools of effective project leadership.
