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.

The result is a groundbreaking approach to delighting customers while achieving profit without losing consultants to the effects of burnout.

Shane does it again! This book does a great job of identifying the success factors of a services engagement. It goes beyond the traditional budget, scope, schedule constraints that seasoned professionals and practitioners are aware of and addresses the success criteria from multiple perspectives - most importantly the service provider, the customer, and the consultant.
Managing projects successfully is a science and an art. In this book, Shane helps you get comfortable with picking up a paint brush and learning practical techniques in driving a successful engagement. Defining services provider success as achieving target margin was an important "aha" moment for me.
I am already working on steps to implement the learnings from this book to our practice and I look forward to reaping the benefits.
