Customer Reviews

Project Management in Practice

Very good service. In 2 weeks i receive de book in portugal from US.

Excellent Reading!

This book gave me the information I was seeking. It really was a good read. If you are looking to learn more about Information Technology, this book has it.

Good PM book

Easy read, good overview with realistic comments about the job of a PM.

Outstanding Reference and Companion to the PMBOK

Using this book as a study guide, it is possible to pass the PMP exam. Using only Project Management in Practice and the PMBOK to study from, I easily passed the PMP exam the first time without joining one of the intensive prep classes. Nearly all the questions on the exam were covered in this book. All the PMI required areas of study are covered; Organization, Planning, Budgeting, Scheduling, Resourcing, Monitoring and Controlling, Evaluating and Terminating. The concepts of Earned Value and Critical Path Method are easily explained and examples given. Formulas and case studies are provided with each chapter. As a practicing Project Management Professional (PMP), I still refer to Project Management in Practice.
