About the book…
If you’ve ever watched a project drift off course despite everyone’s best efforts, you’re not alone. Behind every missed milestone or chaotic backlog is a deeper root cause — a project killer — quietly shaping decisions, behaviors, and outcomes.
Stop Project Killers™ reveals the ten killers that appear across industries and methodologies and gives you a practical, repeatable way to diagnose and eliminate them. Designed as both a start‑to‑finish read and a quick‑reference field guide, the book helps you spot warning signs early, understand what each killer will do if ignored, and take immediate action to restore clarity and momentum.
This is the handbook for project managers who want fewer surprises, fewer fire drills, and more successful deliveries.
