Quinn, with his writer’s intuition, marvels at the brilliance of Milestone’s approach—empty pages as metaphors for the elusive, almost mythical concept of projects finishing ahead of schedule. He reflects, “The real genius lies in how much Morgan says by not saying anything at all. These books are a bold commentary on the impossible expectations we set.”

Together, the duo explores how Milestone’s work challenges conventional project management wisdom, inviting professionals to embrace chaos, intuition, and adaptability. As Quinn quips, “Morgan’s empty books are a liberating invitation to rewrite the rules and thrive in unpredictability.”
