Reader
“I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It discusses many of the challenges that we in the IT industry face on a daily basis and explains the root causes very well. The author’s examples, some of them drawn from everyday life, helped to explain some of the concepts. It also has some good alternative suggestions. I’ll certainly be keeping this as a reference book.”
Reader
“I enjoyed this book. I particularly liked the way that all the required disciplines for managing IT services are pulled together into a single book. And at the right level of detail to keep me interested… the little personal anecdotes throughout the book brought each subject to life.”
Reader
“Humorous and inspiring”
Reader
[The author]" illustrates many of the key issues by showing that there may be a significant disconnect between the business expectations, and the reality of what can be delivered, given the resources available. He also proposes that all too often, the IT service fails to understand exactly what it is the business wants, and therefore is unlikely to provide what is actually required. There is no question that the main argument of the book is highly relevant within commerce and industry, and the subject is one that could be of considerable interest to a large number of organisations."
