Help decide the title of a book

For reasons I can’t fully explain here, the 2nd edition of Art of project management will have a new title. Yes, it’s a huge pain in the ass, but this stuff happens – and i swear, my publisher and I would avoid this if we could, but as things turned out, we can’t – that’s all I can say. We’ll do everything we can to make sure this change is clear to people who pick up the book.

As far as the 2nd edition itself:

Based on your feedback, the current goal is to add:

  • Exercises & situations for applying lessons from each chapter (TOC here)
  • A discussion guide, for use in reading groups
  • A new chapter (topic TBD)
  • Updated references, corrections, and other trivia

Now – the hard part – the title: my editor are debating options and wanted to ensure input from readers of the first edition, and possible readers of the 2nd – That’s you. If you want to write in a candidate, hit other. Some candidates are close to the original title, others go their own way.

I promise the results will be part of the decision making process. Cheers.
