How to Make Your Project Go Badly Wrong is a satirical guide on how to exploit and derail project management for personal gain. The book humorously advises readers on identifying and amplifying inefficiencies, intentionally causing delays, and avoiding accountability to maximize profit. It suggests subtly undermining project goals and emphasizes the potential to profit by prolonging timelines and creating confusion. While playful, it also contrasts good practices in colored text as a nod to actual project management principles. At its core, the book mocks corporate bureaucracy and the sometimes self-serving nature of project environments.
