Most companies are stuck in "pilot purgatory"—endless AI experiments that never scale. Teams spend weeks sharing clever prompts and one-off scripts, but nothing makes it into production. Budgets evaporate, engineers' enthusiasm curdles into cynicism, and executives start asking "we spent how much on this?" The problem isn't the AI tools—it's the approach. AI models are inherently non-deterministic (ask the same question twice, get different answers), while software engineering demands deterministic, reliable results. Without structure to bridge this gap, AI adoption fails spectacularly. This book introduces PIT™ (Plan Implement Test), a proven methodology that transforms unpredictable AI outputs into reliable engineering workflows. Built from thousands of hours of real development work, PIT™ channels AI's capabilities through structured planning, phased implementation, and comprehensive testing—delivering the consistency that production code demands.

This book is an anthology of posts on people and project management from 2008 to 2010, when the author was a manager and was roaming between management training sessions. It started as a blog, Management Bits and Tips: Reflections on Software Engineering and Software Technical Support Management, which now survives as a Facebook page, ManagementBits. When the author returned to engineering after management in 2009, he wanted to publish a book with the original title, Management Bits: An Anthology from Reductionist Manager. Around 2015, he changed its title to Critique of Management Reason: Management Bits and Tips from Can't and added a few more bits as late as 2017.

Plan the work, produce a useful result, check it with another AI, and improve it within clear limits. Practical examples for research, presentations and software.

LLMs und Agentic AI sind derzeit Hype. Richtig angewendet können sie extreme positive Effekte bringen. Dieses Buch zeigt, vor welchen Herausforderungen man in großen Unternehmen und speziell auch in regulierten Umfeldern bei der Einführung stehen wird. Das Buch ist eine leicht lesbare Einführung für IT-nahe Führungskräfte und Enterprise Architekten und auch nützlich für IT-Profis allgemein, die in das Thema einsteigen möchten und absehbare Projektfehler vermeiden möchten

AI is reshaping industries and products. This book helps Product Managers understand how to use AI tools to plan, design, and deliver great products. It explains the AI stack and strategic frameworks for integrating AI features into products; how to use GenAI to perform customer discovery, market research, and prototypings; and how the Product Development Life Cycle and the Model Development Life Cycle intersect when creating AI-driven products.

After 1991, Karnataka’s industrial landscape split in two. Some of the state’s best-known public-sector factories—ITI, HMT, Mysore Lamp Works, NGEF—slid into losses, soft-budget support and eventual closure or near-collapse. Others, notably HAL, stayed profitable. Private firms such as Kirloskar Electric, Vikrant Tyres and Trot Shoes followed still different paths: restructuring, takeover or quiet survival at reduced scale. This book explains why. Using DuPont ratios, Beneish M-scores, Altman Z-scores and courtroom and parliamentary records, it shows how liberalisation, lost protection and strategic mandate produced sharply divergent outcomes—and how those firm-level failures reshaped Bangalore’s older industrial neighbourhoods. A clear, data-driven account of industrial destabilisation in India’s most famous technology city.

AI now drafts the charter, builds the schedule, and writes the status report. The project lifecycle was not designed for that. The AI-Native Project Manager gives working project managers a redesigned lifecycle, the Governed Loop: five phases, three human checks, and an Autonomy Dial for deciding how much the machine does. Practical, sourced, and written by a PMP who runs multi-team programs for a living.
