The U.S. economy thrives on the development of new products, new
systems, and new processes. Usually, these advances start as a
flash of inspiration by highly creative individuals. It is complex
and difficult to go from initial inspiration to a final product,
process, or system. So it is not surprising that approximately one
out of every four development programs fails. A development program
or project in trouble is distinct from a program encountering
typical development difficulties. Such a program or project can
appear to be in free fall. This book identifies the essential
fundamentals for executing a program or project turnaround
effectively. These fundamentals include: Clearly identifying the
next critical accomplishment needed for success Assigning
responsibility for each program task to one person Capitalizing on
colocation and face-to-face communication Recruiting problem
solvers Wining commitment from team members Using team
accomplishments to propel high team morale The guidance provided in
this book is applicable to all program or project genres, including
manufacturing, nonprofit work, education, medicine, investment
management, and municipal management. Software has become a great
part of both providing product functionality and assisting with
managing product development. A special chapter devoted to software
development dispels common misconceptions and provides guidance for
turning around this special type of project or program. This book
is a highly valuable source of insight for a wide range of readers,
including management professionals, business students, and
executive managers. Every member of a product or project
development team will find its recommendations to be of high value.
