About the Book

Trapped In Between is about the global realities in managing projects. It is about people trying to understand what makes their project works or makes it worse! Project managers discovered that, attempting to balance projects purely on technical and financial viabilities were never good enough and has often led to many disappointments. The “circus of project failures” demanded that somebody or something to take the fall. Set against a typical major global company in Malaysia, this book amplifies the underlying realities that affect projects and project management as a whole. It is about the “DOPer Syndrome” that suffered by many “fresh blood” induced into the company and the realities of project’s politics that has long rooted within many organisations. If juggling the projects basing on just technical and financial realities are project managers’ nightmares, inclusion of political realities will make any project manager delusional!
