"...the authors provide very sound and realistic advice for the types of projects envisaged, not necessarily only IT projects. For readers in senior positions, the book provides a good read and actionable advice and templates for advancing the cause of the enterprise at its upper levels. After all, as the authors observe, 'The next decade of digital business will see continued pressure for organizations to react quickly to changing conditions in the economy, market, and competition'." -R. Max Wideman, Fellow, PMI; "I've seen too many projects fail due to poorly defined and ill-managed scope.

This is a must read!" -Haydn Thomas, Vice President, Mindavation; "A project manager will have at least a 50% greater chance of leading a successful project after studying the insights into scientific scope management mentioned in this book. I would encourage my fellow PMP(R) professionals to have a copy of Going Beyond the Waterfall on their bookshelf right next to the PMBOK(R) Guide -Mark Price Perry, Senior Vice President, BOT International
