Unrealistic or impossible, maybe, but that's all you're getting. What's a project manager to do? This book explains how a project gets on the board in the first place, and provides many tips on how a project manager can influence the action in the early stages and even after work begins to obtain and maintain the most reasonable possible expectations for cost, schedule and scope.
