Why Is It That My Kite Won’t Fly: The Power of Strategic Project Management by Roberto Rodriguez Esteves is all about making sure that you are the best project manager that you can be. Though anyone can become a project manager, it is essential to understand the skills and processes necessary in order to be a truly great one. It is not an easy thing to do after all. This book explains many of the different concepts that you may come across as a project manager, and what you may experience as you are attempting to fulfill this position.

I liked that this book was written by someone with firsthand experience. Esteves provides some of his own ideas and thoughts on the subject as well as providing some inspirational quotes and charts that make all of the processes much easier to understand. This book is a great choice for someone looking to take that step into project management. They will be able to learn a lot from Why Is It That My Kite Won’t Fly. Though it is a short read, there are a lot of important information and tips included in this book which will help anyone, even if you aren’t actually chosen as project manager. If you’re just working within a professional organization you’ll want to read this book because you’ll actually learn a lot that can be applied to you as well. Breaking down the text with bullet points of important information also helps to make it easy to understand and easy to locate the information you want to come back to for future reference.
