Too many project teams and project managers fail to accomplish their goals because they lack “the right tools to think, plan, and act effectively.” In Strategic Project Management Made Simple, Terry Schmidt introduces a basic tool called a logical framework to help project managers meet and exceed expectations. The logical framework was initially developed to help the U.S. Agency for International Development plan and implement its multibillion dollar foreign aid programs, but it can be used effectively on all types of projects – large and small, simple and complex – in all types of businesses and organizations, as well as in personal growth efforts.

Great book! I read the full book, not the summary, non and found an effective way to clarify and communicate a complex IT project I have responsibility for. The Logical Framework and the “if-then” concept are powerful ways to simplify a complex world.
