• catalog abstract "What Made Gertie Gallop? Learning from Project Failures, takes a critical look at some of the biggest project management blunders in history. Here, you'll learn case-by-case exactly what went wrong, why, and how you can avoid making the same mistakes yourself. Written by two project management pros, this fascinating book offers an unprecedented opportunity to peek under the rug at notorious project management catastrophes and learn from the mistakes of others. The authors offer practical project management guidelines that you can put to work today, whether you're a novice or a veteran manager. You'll learn how to spot the early warning signs of trouble, how to make contingency plans, the importance of strategy and execution, and how to turn project failures into successes. In the first section of What Made Gertie Gallop? the authors explain the yardstick by which projects must be measured as well as some of the key principles for project success. Kharbanda and Pinto then examine well-known or large-scale projects that failed through mismanagement.".
