Customer Reviews

COMPREHENSIVE, REWARDINGLY DETAILED, HIGHLY READABLE!

Jointly published by Jossey-Bass and the Project Management Institute, the book's goal is to present a comprehensive guide that covers the central features in the field of project management, addressing: the key aspects of projects and their role in organization; scope management and project planning; human resource management; and integrative issues that explore the project management process from a holistic viewpoint. This is an extremely comprehensive work. All the contributions are thoughtful and in depth. This work is both highly readable and rewardingly detailed, delving into lots of valuable technical nitty-gritty, leaving this reviewer very impressed. Recommended.
