An expert guide from one of the pioneers of the business

Concurrent Project Management is based on a simple premise: Instead of the traditional method of manufacturing where a design team dumps an unworkable process onto a production group, these groups work together from the beginning or conceptual phase, all the way through production and product delivery. This seems so obvious today but at the time Dr. Turtle was developing this methodology, it was unheard of. I met Chuck Turtle in 1999 as one of his students at the University of Rhode Island. This book was our textbook. The lessons taught in this book have become the basis for my project management career. This book is to project management what Homer is to classics.
