    We wrote this book as a collection of stories written by practicing project managers who desired to share their experiences associated with managing projects. Over 250 project managers worldwide shared valuable information that can help one realize they are not alone in their struggles to manage small and large projects.

    We wrote this book as a collection of stories written by practicing project managers who desired to share their experiences associated with managing projects. Over 250 project managers worldwide shared valuable information that can help one realize they are not alone in their struggles to manage small and large projects. My role as project manager and contributor was to manage over 250 project managers, set time schedule for manuscript delivery to publisher, set up editing teams, confirm appropriate reading teams, and establish and work with an evaluation team.
    Lessons Learned:
    In order for such a project to be totally inclusive and welcoming - there has to be a component where the participants are coached to transfer their material into proper English; grammar sessions and help tips needed to be administered to confirm rules related to writing, and this level of coaching needed to be factored into the time needed by the evaluation team members.
    Evaluators needed to have a full command of English grammar and writing skills.
    The book is now available via amazon.com ISBN 978 - 0 - 9830257
