Project management for projects that cannot fail.

Written after the cutover, not in the classroom

Most project management books are written from the classroom. This one was written after the cutover. Kevin Torf developed the P.R.O.J.E.C.T.S. framework while leading hospital network cloud migrations, EHR implementations and enterprise infrastructure programs where a missed date meant disrupted patient care and regulatory exposure. The 100 tips in the book are the ones that held up under that pressure.

What is the P.R.O.J.E.C.T.S. Framework?

The P.R.O.J.E.C.T.S. framework is a hybrid-agile project management system built around eight essential components of IT delivery. Developed through four decades of real-world implementation experience, it bridges the discipline of traditional project management with the adaptability of agile, giving IT leaders a flexible, repeatable approach that works across healthcare, government, and commercial sectors. Together, these eight components form the backbone of every T2Group engagement.

Together these 8 components form a flexible approach that works across healthcare, government, and commercial IT projects.

Position over supervision

The book borrows from team sports. When every player knows their position, the coach does not need to chase each mistake with a whistle. The gaps reveal themselves and the team closes them. The framework applies the same idea to projects: define positions clearly, give people ownership of their outcomes, and spend the manager's time on alignment instead of inspection.

What You'll Learn

100 tips across 8 disciplines, each one practical, grounded in real-world case studies, and immediately applicable to your next project.
