Author’s Acknowledgments
Publishing a book is not a solo endeavor. It takes many people to transfer information from the author’s head into the reader’s hands. If you’re reading this, it is because the following people at For Dummies and Wiley have been instrumental in getting this information to you.
I am grateful to my acquisitions editor, Steve Hayes, for giving me the opportunity to write this book. Elizabeth Kuball is an excellent project editor — I appreciate her time and effort associated with keeping the schedule on track and helping me with the artwork. My technical editor, Guy Hart-Davis, was exceptional — I appreciate all his suggestions that made this a better book.
Finally, I would like to acknowledge all the students I have had the opportunity to teach. Project management is a wonderful profession, but it is not for the faint of heart. Thank you for allowing me to light the way for you.
