Today's workers are drowning: nonstop requests for time, days filled to the brim with meetings, and endless nights spent heroically fixing the latest problems. This churn and burn is creating a workforce constantly on the edge of burnout.

In this updated edition, IT time management expert Dominica DeGrandis reveals the real crime of the century―time theft, one of the most costly factors impacting enterprises in their day-to-day operations.

Through simple solutions that make work visible, DeGrandis helps people round up the five thieves of time and take back their lives with time-saving solutions. Chock-full of exercises, takeaways, real-world examples, colorful diagrams, and an easy-going writing style, readers will quickly learn effective practices to create high-performing workflows within an organization.

And now, with this updated second edition, readers will get more exercises plus a new afterword from the author featuring new learnings from the past five years.

The technology world―and indeed the whole business world―is moving at a pace faster than ever before, and it shows no signs of slowing down. Instead of consigning ourselves to the pressure cooker of the modern world, it's time to elevate how we work. It's time to level up our game. It's time to make work visible.

Sencillamente, imposible de leer, si tu nivel de inglés no es muy alto, repito, muy alto, perderás 15 minutos por página buscando en el diccionario, cada dos renglones un palabro indescifrable. Llevo más de 10 años leyendo libros técnicos en inglés, y es el único que he abandonado por la desesperación. Curioso, un libro que te habla de los ladrones del tiempo, y menciona uno como el Context Switching. Leer este libro es un claro ejemplo, me he pasado más tiempo buscando en el diccionario el significado de las palabras más rebuscadas que esta señora ha podido encontrar. Leyendo el libro, cuando intentas comprender algo, te das cuenta que nada tiene sentido debido al ir y venir al diccionario, la lectura no es nada fluida. Es como dar a leer el Quijote en castellano a un inglés. ABSOLUTAMENTE DESESPERANTE

I was expecting the audience of this visibility to be different

I bought this book as suggested to me, for managing communication through an organization. Trying to figure out the best way to decipher signal from noise. This book just showed how to create more noise. Summarizing and uplevelling the telemetry into risk vs information, or early actionable warnings is the hard part. I’m open to suggestions on any book that might help

Practical and fun

Reviewed in Canada on 22 March 2019

Verified Purchase

Practical and fun to read with lots of examples. Great for beginners and ever for more experimented people, as we can use it as easy reference material. Excellent for Product Owners, Agile Coaches and anyone interested in making work visible and efficient.
