I really enjoyed this book. It is informed, informative and also entertaining. This is especially true in the narrative style story/case study of a team adding project management methodologies and processes to their instructional design knowledge.
The first part is adding psychology to the instructional design process. As an instructional designer myself, I recognise the difficulties highlighted in this book. A big part of the job is dealing with people (stakeholders and SMEs in particular). Sending the right signals, using the right language and checking your/my own ego are a big part of the job.
The second part of the book is written in the narrative of a person Bob being put in charge of an instructional design team. Though not an instructional designer himself he uses his leadership and project management background to get the best out of the team. Internal conflicts, clashing of ideas, familiar problems and adaptation to success follow.
To me telling a story to get the information across really works for my learning style, but the important points are re-highland at the end of every chapter as reflections.
