I’d like to thank Frances Place, Emma Seaton-Smith, Donna Unitt, Glen Alleman, Deepesh Rammorthy, Mayte Mata-Sivera, Sarah Johnson, Aaron Porter and Elise Stevens for allowing me to share their stories.

Thanks also to Dovilė Misevičiūtė at Eylean for the screenshots of Agile tools, Monica Borrell at Cardsmith for the screenshot of a Kanban board, Steve McConnell and Construx Software Builders, Inc. for permission to reproduce the cone of uncertainty, Lindsay Scott and Nadine Rochester at TwentyEighty Strategy Execution for allowing me to adapt and reuse some blog articles for this book, and to Rebecca Youé and the BCS team for asking me in the first place.

I’m also appreciative of the thoughtful comments provided by the two reviewers, who took their own time to provide helpful feedback about how to make this book better. Any oversights and omissions are most definitely my own.

Finally, thanks as always to the team at PACE Computer Training for their ongoing support in so many ways. Love you!
