Bits from the book "97 Things evey project manager should know" from O'reilly

This is a list of some of the subjects I felt more close to my vision of project management.
Of course it is not an extensive list and tried to put together a small one. So there might be other gems not being considered in this list. My suggestion would be to read book, it's not that long of a read and should be something you can finish on a week of late night/before bed reading session. Here I only put some of the phrases that catched my attention and not the whole piece.

1. Developer productivity: skilled versus Average. Neal Ford. P. 26.

"Let's debunk some of the myths about developer skills for project managers who have been assigned for the first time to software projects. Understand  that really good software developers are much more productive than average ones...The point is, a skilled programmer isn't  just a little better than an average one; the difference is huge."


2. Managing  Human Factors in IT project management. James Graham. P. 48

"As software project managers, we obsess over the scheudle details. We huddle with our teammates to try to anticipate risk factors that could derail our projects. We crunch numbers to see if we can squeeze the project deliverables out of the allocated budget. But we tend to overlook, or ignore, the most prevalent cause of project failure: the human factor".
