Customer Reviews

Excellent desk reference

This is an excellent desk reference for PM. Since receiving this book, I've read several chapters from random sections based on my current need. I've found the writing to be well organized and easy to skim. The in depth reading is enjoyable and informative. It is a keeper. --SWC

Valuable study aid & practical guide

I struggled through months of preparation for the PMI exam until I ordered this book. In this one reference, I was able to find all of the detail that was required to master the practice exams and that wasn't included in the PMBOK.Since passing the PMI exam, this is the only PM book that remains on my desk. It is my key PM reference with pratical approaches to most of the issues faced by PM's today. Now that I am mentoring other PM's, this has become the first tool that I recommend for improving their day-to-day PM practices and preparing for the PMI Exam.

A single point reference for day-to-day PM challenges

A very good collection of Project Management articles. This book covers most day-to-day challenges a Project Manager faces. I no longer have to refer to various textbooks and journals on PM all the times. On the flip side, the illustrations are tardy, at times illegible.
