Acknowledgments

Writing a book about project decision is a big project itself involving many decisions. In any project, whether designing software, constructing buildings, shooting reality TV shows, or catching criminal masterminds, you have to rely on help from others to move it to a successful conclusion. We would like to thank our reviewers who helped us by providing ideas and suggestions: Robert Bordley, Linda Rising, and Erik Gfesser. We were lucky to come across a very talented artist, Alex Alexeev, who produced the cartoons you will find in this book. Special thanks to Charlotte Ashlock and the highly professional staff and editors at Berrett-Koehler Publishers who guided us through the complex process of publishing our work.
