Productive Objects
Many new software project managers see projects as a set of tasks. More experienced managers see projects as tasks, resources, and dependencies, the sort of thing you find in project management software. In reality, projects are systems. Productive Objects shows you all the things that make up a project system and gives you the tools and metrics you need to manage one project or a thousand projects. It helps you to understand not only the structures of a project but also the relationships between those structures: processes, plans, schedules, budgets, and people.
