Practical Advise for managing IT Projects This is one of the best books on PM I have read. It is very easy to read, it has great examples and give practical advise on common PM problems. | ||
The most applicable book to IT Projects. I work as a consultant for ERP system implementations. This book explains how many problems are inherent to Project Management, and what to do in many cases. For example: Jolyon will explain how to set up estimates, and then ask questions like ýWhat if the customer thinks your estimates are too low?ý and propose a course of action. The book also contains many useful check lists. In this book I found the most detailed explanation on how to set up a Project Schedule (WBS, dependencies, et cetera), Project Budget, and follow up I have read. I highly recommend this book. | ||
