TESTIMONIALS
Murray Grooms, PMP

This book is a winning combination of valuable learning material combined in an organized and easy to read “story type” narrative. There is an intentional absence of jargon. But an abundance of good guiding principles for the “accidental project manager”. I would have benefited from this book when I started out.

In his latest book, Ray shares the story of Rhett Sero and weaves into each chapter the essences of what it's like to be a project manager. It's written with a quick-start method called PROJECT for accidental PMs to practice, learn, and put into immediate action. A must-read for any new project manager!

Those of us who actually started as "Accidental Project Managers” (but maybe slow to admit it) would have benefited from this this book when we ourselves made the transition from subject specialist to project manager. Much to be recommended.

Highly recommended read, the style and the content are highly readable and should be relatable for all functional managers being asked to work as project managers in addition to their "normal work." The book presents a framework to help you get results and increase your changes of efficient execution.
