Mainly focuses on project management for digital agencies, especially web design projects. Still, a solid, well-written, and (mostly) engaging overview of project management.

I think was a solid project management conceptual introduction, but I’m not sure there’s anything really practically applicable for anyone who’s been doing PM work - titled or untitled - for more than 6 months. I think this work covers the big concepts in detail, but is light on practical technique. It overviews agile but doesn’t instruct you about how to really practically do it. Maybe that’s not the point of this book, but I can see folks reaching out to it for guidance.

I think anyone can benefit from this book. You don't need to be a PM to understand or find useful information from it. I think the best part about this is pretty much how the title describes it. How to communicate with your team and clients as another human being. Everyone has their own way of handling things but how they handle it will determine the relationship you have moving forward. It's important to manage expectations and know how to deal with difficult conversations rather than ignoring it.

This book was enjoyable because it was like having a pleasant conversation. Brett shared his life's experiences and how they shaped him into a great PM.

Read this as some professional development for my job. Not rating as it was more of learning purposed rather than enjoyment.

Great information and was structured in a way that helped me ease myself through the chapters.
