What happens if a helpful wizard decides to arrive by bicycle? Why do marauders prefer Agile project management to waterfall? How wise is it to skip testing when the Queen is taking a bath? What can you measure with Distrans? Jürgen Van Gorp’s book explains in a lighthearted way the vital importance of documentation in project management. The setting of his book is a medieval castle where a King’s orders to bring his castle up to date, rapidly get out of hand. Enter a wise wizard to come to his rescue, introducing to the court the art of correct project management and project documentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is written for both operational and project managers alike. It describes the need for a wide range of project documents and their usefulness in ensuring that things get done as they should.
