On Line, On Time, On Budget

I've added reading notes about Mark Kozak-Holland's book On Line, On Time, On Budget - which has nothing to do with developing projects under the constraints of time and budget, but is nonetheless a good resource on a different topic: practices for mitigating the risk in online projects (and the systems they create) and dealing with problems in the production environment.

While this adds to the cost and time required in projects, the author (rightly) asserts that the investment is justified by the reduction of risk of disasters that can cripple, and even sink, a business that moves mission-critical operations to the online environment.

With that in mind, it's a worthwhile read ... if you skip the first couple of chapters in which the author attempts to provide an overview of project management and focus on the material in which he writes in the greatest length, detail, and (presumably) authority.
