We're now living in the project economy. As the number of projects initiated in both the public and private sectors skyrockets, project management skills have become essential for all leaders and managers. But despite this project boom, the failure rate remains extremely high. Why? Leaders have too many projects and too little visibility into them, and they lack the project implementation competencies necessary to deliver their projects successfully.

What is it about the top tech product companies such as Amazon, Apple, Google, Netflix, and Tesla that enables their record of consistent innovation? Most people think it's because these companies are somehow able to find and attract a level of talent that makes this innovation possible. But the real advantage these companies have is not so much who they hire, but rather how they enable their people to work together to solve hard problems and create extraordinary products.

For professionals and non-project managers
This book gave me answers to why most projects did not succeed in our company. The author presents the essential skills the project manager needs and how they can improve the culture, gain support from the sponsor, stakeholders, and team members. I liked the tips for closing tasks quickly and preventing scope creep. Understanding team members (bits of psychology) and being your team's best fan are the first stepping stones for an efficient team, which the author promises to level up in his next book, Being a Project Leader. Generally, I think the book fits very well with professionals and non-project managers who lead their initiatives and private projects. The narration is superb!

Win the PM game
A project manager’s role is similar to a sports coach. You can win only with your team. You have to focus on essential aspects, such as being a leader, planning the scope and time well, managing risks, and becoming a strong executor in closing tasks early. These are well developed in the book.

Integrity, organized and never give up
The book shines in chapter 8, Level up your PM game. It brings advanced topics that can be used in other management fields as well. Working with integrity always pays off. Cheating is still a short-term strategy. Being organized first and then organize work for the team is something I have to improve. Sometimes I give up, especially when I see my results are not valued. I have to change my perspective.

Avoid scope mistakes
As a perfectionist, I add other features and improvements to my “projects.” I call them projects even though I work on them mostly alone. The book is the right fit as it discusses how to close tasks effectively and avoid scope mistakes. I have to say “no” primarily to myself. 80% indeed means a project or assignment is generally complete, and most people are okay with it. This is the biggest added value for me.

Effective PMs do get their hands dirty
The quote in the title reflects what’s in the book. I like the project management profession because it is the most crucial tool to achieve strategic goals and is about working with people. Both require going entirely into the problems, not being afraid to make unpopular decisions, and lead the team.
