Project Dynamics: Moving Beyond Time, Scope and Budget for Successful Customer Project Management
DELIGHT CUSTOMERS AND MAKE A PROFIT
Though there are millions of certified project managers throughout the world, industry surveys overwhelmingly report that projects are not on time, not on budget and not on scope. But are these results reliable? Are these measures of success worth aiming for? And if not, what should replace them and how could they be achieved repeatedly?
In Project Dynamics, entrepreneur and professional services expert Shane Anastasi dissects what’s really happening in the world of customer-facing project management. He explores the intimate relationship between customer and service provider to debunk the triple constraints as an effective measure of a project’s success. Born from real-world experience in software and consulting, he defines more productive goals achievable through a combination of customer leadership, commercial knowhow, and behavioral psychology. The result is a groundbreaking approach to delighting customers while achieving profit without losing consultants to the effects of burnout.
Whether you’re a rookie or a seasoned professional at delivering customer projects, Project Dynamics is a must-read for advancing your craft and achieving extraordinary results.

As a point of introduction, I am not a professional project manager. I have been a technical consultant, advisor, coach, teacher, mentor, advocate, expert, learner and many other terms for over 30 years. I have implemented projects and had to manage a few at the same time. My introduction to Shane's teaching was through a company sponsored Professional Services training. His insight and ability to relate the job I was doing to the concepts was immediate. I then took his training for Client Facing Project Management. Again, he hit all the points in ways I had not seen others do previously.
Finally, in his latest book, it is enjoyable to read and see his take on things I could do (or could have done) on projects I face. It also challenged me to be better with projects and look at them as much more than a single deliverable on a single date. He brings much more nuance to the process. While the book is easy to read, you will be challenged to hold yourself to a higher standard after you read this. I recommend it to anyones reading list for 2024!
