There good stuff in it. Follow the principles outlined in this book and you won't go far wrong with your projects. It's a bit lacking in some places with theory butif it's practice you're after, it's great. | ||
EXCELLENT !! This is a great book from a great man. If you manage projects you *have to* read this and keep it on your desk for frequent reference. It is a very enjoyable and thought provoking read. | ||
Guidelines with no rationale The author provides a Ten Step process that certainly sounds workable. I have no doubt that it DOES work. It would have been nice to see more rationale and discussion of why this particular method is "necessary and sufficient" to run a project. He never really talks about why this method is sufficient. Proof by repeated claim doesn't count. It was still pretty good despite that flaw. | ||
My preferred project management book. This book provides an excellent project management process that is simple and easy to put in place. I read the first edition several years ago and find the new one to be even better. The dry wit and anecdotes also make it a fun read. | ||
Best practice project management for practioners This book presents a very practical project management approach based on 10 steps covering project planning and implementation. In addition, a variety of useful practical tools, advice and lessons learned are presented. The book is clearly written and thanks to many examples and interesting real life stories fun to read. As an experienced project manager I regard this Structured Project Management Approach as best practice in project management and have decided to introduce this concept into my work environment. | ||
