What They're Saying

Critics Review

“Blind Spots manages a triple play: It’s a master’s class in product development, a reference book to keep close when you run into market challenges or overruns, and a transparent, entertaining sharing of the frustrations, triumphs, and lessons learned from over 30 years of personal experience. I challenge you to read the introduction and be able to put the book down. It’s that good.” -Scott Tibbitts, Founder/CEO Starsys Research Corporation

“Blind Spots: Why Product Development Projects Miss Their Targets captures what most new products books miss-why brilliant teams still miss their targets. Paul Streit gives a framework to deliver what matters, on time and on budget.” -Armen Askijian, CTO, Airbus U.S. Space & Defense, Inc.

“Management problems during new product development can result in missing the mark with customers and overrunning cost and schedule. Paul Streit shares his over 30 years of product development experience in this easy-to-follow, practical book to give you the knowledge and tools you need to avoid typical problems and run a successful project.” -Jim Voss, Colonel, U.S. Army Ret., NASA Astronaut
