Hi Marcus, I bought the e-book.
I must say that the diagrams made in Bizagi are not translated to english and have a very low resolution; and that the english used in chapter 5 is pretty hard to read.
Fortunately, I speak spanish that is very similar to portuguese, but there are concepts like "Providenciar acertos do habilidades" (Appendix M1-13) that are not easy to understand.
I say it as a constructive criticism, in the hope that you can correct this for the second edition of the book.
Best Regards,
Carlos
Hi, Augustin. How are you? Hi, Marcus! Your book looks wonderful! So it mentions Spider Projects incorporation of the DRAG calculation? Thats great! How can I get hold of a copy? (And have you read my Total Project Control book? There are a number of other metrics and techniques that, with DRAG calculation in place, Spider Project would be perfectly suited to incorporate!)
Too bad I didnt know about this three weeks ago. I gave a half-day seminar at Bentley University for a visiting group of project management students from University of Sao Paulo. They seemed very interested to learn about the TPC approach, and, of course, I mentioned that Spider Project is one of the few software packages that supports DRAG calculation. Several of the students (one was from a food company called Harald, Ltda. Have you heard of it?) said afterwards that they wanted to contact me. I havent heard anything yet, but if I do, I promise to mention your book to them.
Good luck! It sounds like youre doing great stuff.
(And sorry about the World Cup -- I was rooting for Brazil.)
Fraternally in project management,

Hi Marcus,
Congratulations to you and your team. It’s a great step in presenting Spider Project features and most of all, the way the reality can be seen, modeled and controlled. And congratulations to Vladimir who is the master mind behind the solution.
Look forward to comment the book.
Best regards,
Augustin
