At first glance of the title, you may wonder if you actually need to follow the rules for project management. In actuality, it is more like who should actually break the rules and when. The answer to this question is delicately dealt with in this audio CD. Paul Berman recommends not breaking any rules until you are an expert. An expert is one who knows all the ways not to do something. His analogy is to learn to color the picture within the lines first and really know how to do it well. Once you have mastered being within the lines, then discover what coloring outside the lines will do to the overall picture.

I really agree that there is no place for innovation in project management unless you are an expert with the basics. However, once the basics are mastered, being able to discover unique solutions is the key to being a successful project manager.

Do you want to break the rules in project management? If so, then listen closely to what Paul Bergman has to say on this CD.
