The ideas in this book inspired our team to create LiquidPlanner. Our dedication to the principles of ranged estimation and great software tools inspired Steve McConnell to join the LiquidPlanner Advisory Board. This book is required reading for all software development leaders.

This is a book you might wish you found 10 years earlier. It will change your thinking about multi-tasking, using buffers, and where to focus your attention as a manager. It focuses on better throughput and shows us that old PM habits are doing more harm than good. The business novel format is very digestible if not down right entertaining (how else would you get someone to think about the Theory of Constraints, oops forget I said that, just read the book).
