He learned a lot from that project; the Vision practice in particular was inspired by IXP??™s Project
Chartering practice. David Schwartz and Amy Schwab of True North pgs, Inc.,??? provided the specific
vision format that we use, as well as the term project community. Their Mastering Projects workshop is
excellent; take it when you have the opportunity.
Thank you to our editor, Mary Treseler O??™Brien, for providing vision (where necessary), trust (where
appropriate), and deadlines (where frightening). This book would not be what it is without you gently
nudging us in directions different from our original ideas.
Thanks also to our army of reviewers, who provided over one thousand comments and suggestions on
our mailing list. In particular, thanks to Adrian Howard, Adrian Sutton, Ann Barcomb, Andy Lester,
