This book is the revised and updated 2025 edition of BACKBRIEFINGS SIMPLIFIED.

A Backbriefing is a Plan of Action briefing you give your boss or client explaining how you intend to accomplish their objective by identifying all their concerns and expectations before starting work.

It's the 24th volume in a comprehensive Success Training Program (see OTHER BOOKS).

In business, how do you know if your project meets your boss's expectations?

Well, let's face it. No matter how talented you are, you'll be starting over or looking for a new job if you don't meet your boss's expectations.

One of the main causes of project problems is the failure to uncover the boss's expectations before starting the project. But how do you do that?

One way is to give your boss a Backbriefing before starting work.

This best practice is a great way to achieve a "meeting of the minds" before work begins.

Backbriefings enhance mutual understanding and trust by exchanging questions and answers to ensure that no unmet expectations or surprises appear later.

They also enhance your credibility, thus relieving the need for micromanagement.

Enjoy the book!
