Foreword

This book skims the surface of the Six Sigma methodology for project management. While it's a good and thorough overview, it might better have been done as a magazine article or booklet. There was a lot of padding and filler text to stretch it out.

However, it's to be taken with a note of caution: the author's "advice" to managers and employees in an organization that have embraced the methodology is peppered with thinly veiled threats - cooperate or be fired, whether you see the value or not - rather than explaining the benefits in more positive terms. As such, it's not a good book (in fact, a very bad one) to provide to those upon whom the methodology is to be inflicted, as it's likely this tactic will create resistance and distrust, and undermines the genuine value of the very methodology the author is ostensibly attempting to promote.
