Customer Reviews

A very good book on project management that follows standards for the Project Management Institute

Very good introduction to the PMI methodology for project management. I initially ordered the PMBOK (v. 4), but found it very hard to read. This book is much more readable. It gives a very good insight into the processes developed by the PMI and is a good book to grasp the complexity of project management done right.

An outstanding title any business library must have

First-time project managers can hit the ground running and avoid the usual mistakes from inexperience with 90 Days to Success as a Project Manager, an introduction to five keys to successful project management. From planning and executing the project to monitoring, controlling workflow and fluxes, and closing out the project, this covers everything from time and cost management to scope and quality, packing in explanations of both daily routines and bigger pictures. An outstanding title any business library must have.

Best Deal: The One and Only Book Comaptible with the Latest PM Standard

I was doing some research to find books that are compatible with the latest standard of project management (PMBOK Guide, 4th Edition), and found this book. I would say this is a great book for any beginner in the field of project management. The book explains all essential project management concepts from scratch. The coverage is very comprehensive and all the processes in the PMBOK Guide 4th Edition are covered. After introducing project management in a very easy to understand manner, the book covers the topics in order which is closer to real world PM practices: initiating, planning, executing, monitoring and controlling, and closing. Features like Study Checkpoints, Notes, Tips, and Success Shot further explain and clarify the concepts. The presentation is very cohesive and there is a perfect logical flow...one topic naturally leads to the next topic...This way the author puts the pieces together to build the big picture of proejct management that sticks with the reader. Compared to the prices of other project management books, this book is the real deal. I highly recommend this hidden treasure to all project managers and also to those who are planning to join the field.
