AXIA Releases Book on Improving Communication Between Project Managers and Developers

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 30, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- AXIA Consulting, a global provider of business and technology solutions, announced the release of its book, Perfect Strangers: How Project Managers and Developers Relate and Succeed. Written by AXIA consultants Justin Browder and Bryan Schoeff, the book explores the dynamic between project managers and developers and proposes strategies to create more successful project environments.

"There tends to be an unspoken disconnect between project managers and developers, so Bryan and I developed a presentation series to acknowledge, poke fun at and bridge the gap between these two roles," Browder explained. "We were met with such positive responses that we decided to develop a book that expanded upon these concepts."

Packed with real life scenarios, Perfect Strangers explores the often complicated relationship between project managers and developers. From agile to waterfall and technology to construction, they explain that all teams must bridge the divide between "managers" and "builders." By better understanding each role's context and challenges, teams can evolve from satisfied assembly lines to excited, efficient collaborators.

Browder and Schoeff will soon offer hands-on workshops with organizations and project teams to help implement the book's strategies.

"We want to shed light on these ongoing issues in a fun way to help organizations really achieve the results they're seeking," said Schoeff.
