The Human's Guide to Managing Change

Project management is one of those professions that has sort of evolved into what it is now. It started

as part of management and then became more specialized. I think the problem is that project

management has never really been a proper discipline (in the same way marketing or engineering). A

lot of people stumbled into project management, almost like something to do on the 'side of their desk.'

as part of their normal job. With the massive amount of change in progress, there needs to be

proper discipline. This is one of the motivations for writing this book because I thought I could contribute

to the knowledge and experience base to try and support project management generally.
