About the book

How to Measure Anything in Project Management by Douglas W. Hubbard, Alexander Budzier and Andreas Leed tackles a challenge familiar to anyone in projects, programmes, governance, assurance and decision-making: how do we make better decisions when faced with uncertainty? Over six weeks we work through it together — exploring ideas, challenging assumptions, and applying the lessons to real projects.
