After the Goal and nothing is left to chance, here is a fictionalized third opus dedicated to the Theory of Constraints (TOC) The characters change, and suddenly the attraction is not the same: the main character is at the limit of unsympathetic, the world is that of academic research. If the subject (project management) is one of the fields worked for twenty years, the major contribution of Goldratt is to rebuild with OCD and show the transformation that allows you to make. So you learn a lot about project management in this work, and especially how the change to make it more effective. To my taste, the author does not go far enough, and the work of recent years on the Agile open new routes, more motivating and creative values. A so read to your culture and propose new approaches if you are caught in project logical.
