Description: "The origins of this book can be traced back to a confluence of ideas. Before the coauthors of this book had met, we were working on similar challenges to conventional thinking in management. By 2009, Doug Hubbard had written his first two books, How to Measure Anything: Finding the Value of Intangibles in Business and The Failure of Risk Management: Why It's Broken and How to Fix It. His books posed a provocative question: "How do we know it works?" This question needs to be asked of the methods used in project management and the answer is not as obvious as many would think."--
