"If you are a leader who simply must deliver results, Jay’s crisp insight into methodologies is just the medicine your organization needs. Ignore Jay at your own peril. He is usually bang on the mark."
Brian L. Hurly, founder, Musk Industries

"The project management profession offers ever–increasing options and tools for getting things done, and Jay organizes the choices in this book so you can make intelligent decisions. This will be popular reading in project management offices worldwide!"
Christopher M. Avery, PhD, author, Teamwork Is an Individual Skill: Getting Your Work Done When Sharing Responsibility

"Jason scores big! Project management professionals need to understand which project methodologies are out there, especially anyone charged with delivering successful projects this book will be a PM’s best friend!"
Bob Fairchild, Senior Project Manager

"Mr. Charvat is the Norm Abram of project management. He not only has a rich collection of tools but also the down–to–earth advice on how best to use them. His observation that not all tools are appropriate for all projects is again in line with the master carpenter analogy. Like the carpenter, the project manager must be skilled in knowing which tools are right for the job at hand."
Thomas P. Davis, IT mentor and coach
