A well researched and well presented project management methodology

I recently received the Project Management Professional (PMP) certification. I purchased and read your book in my desire for continued growth in this area. Your book was recommended to me. I just want to thank and congratulate you regarding this book. I've read many books over the years to improve my skill sets, and this book is, by far, the best. The methodology is presented in a very clear and understandable format. The tools and techniques you've developed over the years are nothing short of outstanding. The tools and methodology are presented in a way that makes its application very understandable and provides a firm foundation for justifying. I confidently look forward to applying your methodology to all future project management assignments that may come my way.

Captures the essence of Project Managment

Mr. Gopal Kapur has captured the essence of project management in this book. The Project Process Architecture (PPA) supplies proven techniques backed up with practical tools and provides the foundation for successful project management. However, this work goes beyond the "mechanics" of project management and discusses the topics typically not covered in project management material and seminars. These topics include the importance of business and IT leadership, why clear communication is vital to project success, understanding individual and team dynamics, why it is vital to have a disciplined and consistent project management approach, and why a project can't succeed without clear project ownership and strong sponsorship. The material covered in this book will help aspiring and experienced project managers be more successful in both current and future projects.
