Zak reviewed How Big Things Get Done by Bent Flyvbjerg
The secrets to successfully planning and delivering projects on any scale—from home renovation to space …
A good, linear reference
4 stars
This book sets out to give the reader a framework to apply to any projects they try to tackle. In that way, it serves as a good, well-researched reference book of tips and heuristics to apply when conceiving of and planning a project. Additionally, reading it through from start to finish is well-structured and enjoyable. I listened to it as an audiobook, and for that, the quality start-to-finish is definitely appreciated.
A good book for people who want to understand how large projects succeed and fail, project managers, and anyone who works with project managers and wants to cultivate a little more empathy for them.
