Most marketing teams do not fail because of bad strategy or untalented people. They fail because the workaround is broken.
Missed deadlines. Last-minute fire drills. Campaigns shipped without a measurement plan. Talented marketers running hot and calling it normal.
It is not normal. It is a structural problem, and it is fixable.
In Project Management for Marketing Teams, Jason Wissner draws on more than twenty years of experience at companies including Microsoft and Adobe, as a small business owner, and as a consultant to marketing agencies and businesses across many industries, to deliver a complete framework for running marketing the way the best teams run it. With structure where structure helps. With flexibility where flexibility matters. With a clear-eyed understanding of where the work actually breaks down, and a plan for fixing it.
