So you're asking who is David Schmaltz and what has he done? David is the author of the book The Blind Men and the Elephant, Mastering Project Work. It's a great book on the essence and the challenges of project work. One of the indicators of how great any work is we can see in who lines up as advocates and detractors. David has more than his fair share of both. I'm guessing that his latest article will produce the same effect. David, just for the record, count me in as one of your advocates!

David's latest piece The Planning Wars, appearing on June 30, 2005 in Projects @ Work uses the project "Operation Iraqi Freedom" to explore the misconceptions and "inescapable truths" of project planning and management. He does a good job of side-stepping the politics of the situation. (Congratulations David!) As usual for David, the writing is very good. It's tight and engaging.

I hesitate to recap his article. Take the time to read it, digest it, and share it with others. And after you do, please share your reactions with David and readers of Reforming Project Management.
