O autor de fato propõe um sistema robusto de Gerenciamento de Projetos a nível organizacional - só não é visual. Em um capítulo apenas esse tema é tratado e de forma superficial. O sistema proposto é interessante, voltado para a execução e entregas (diferenciando inclusive o "planejar para o controle" e o "planejar para a execução") e incorpora elementos do CCPM (que foram renomeados).

Title is misleading, was expecting to see lots of pictures, examples and templates - instead there's more text than anything. Interesting concepts on execution though.

In Visual Project Management, Woeppel helps show how to create a smart and effective way to make sure your projects are completed on time and on budget. He first details the staggering amount of projects within businesses are completed late and over budget, and how this obviously has negative effects on both careers and business. But most projects break down for the same reasons (teams disagreeing on the process, the team cannot respond to unforeseen issues, and the team cannot manage resources) and Woeppel details these issues and how each can derail a project and how to deal with each as a team leader. This book really provides a great amount of information on Woeppel’s process, and I think it could be a great tool for someone looking for a strategy to effectively manage projects.
I received a free copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

It is an wonderful book on project management. The author has given a lot of good pointers on how to manage projects effectively and efficiently. A lot of emphasis has been pot on all the right parameters which we use to judge the success of a project execution and delivery.The best takeaways for me have been the new perspective on creating a project plan for execution and not for control. The other one is to report the status of the project not in terms of Completion but on the parameters of how much work is remaining and how much buffer has been used.
This book would be useful for all the practitioners of project management.
