Summary: Very Sound
Review: Ashley Friedlein provides a very sound methodology for web development. Kelly Goto's Web Redesign is another fine book for managing web projects. However, Friedlein's book is not cute or sweet. Rather, this book is professional and solid (Goto's is professional and solid as well, it's just an easier read). The book reads similar to a college textbook (hint: dry). The content is serious and impressive.

Summary: Add This Book to Your Must Have List!!
Review: Excellent, excellent, excellent! If your a Project Manager who delivers web-based projects, then this book should definetly be in your collection. If your new to the world of Project Management for the internet, then this is the FIRST book you should read. Forget whatever negative comments you may read on this rating list, because those who dare to be critical have probably never delivered a web-based project. This book gives you a good base from which to start your research; giving you a good overview of the most important concepts, along with a reference section to help you along the way. If your trying to decide between this book and another...then take it from an experience PM when I tell you that you should choose this one first.

Summary: Halfway into my first major commercial website redesign.....
Review: I could not be more impressed! My dog-eared, highlighted, underlined copy of this awesome roadmap to managing major web projects goes everywhere with me. The downloadable project plan from the author's website served as a good starting point for me to build a very usable project management outline. My level of experience in both project management and web development is mid level, and the book has given me the tools to manage through a fortune500 website relaunch, as well as food for thought on how to optimize all components of my site. It's not a technical book, it's a very detailed guide for project managers to manage launching a site, from planning to content development to technical specifications to launch. It's ideal for business (read marketing) sponsors who have been agitating for a redesign for years who suddenly get their budget minus the project manager to keep their heads above water. Definitely recommend for when you're tossed into that situation!

Summary: Destined to Become a Project Management Classic
Review: I should have read this book three years ago. Web Project Management presents a solid Web project management method for building commercial web sites. The book reads as if Ashley Friedlein, the author made many of the same mistakes I made. The wisdom encapsulated between the covers of this well written, easy-to-understand volume will serve web site project managers for years to come. The author breaks web site construction into 4 distinct phases: Pre-production, Production, Maintenance and Evaluation. Pre-production is broken into 3 stages: Project Clarification, Solution Definition, and Project Specification. Pre-production ranks as the most important stage; it represents the time when you work out what is to be achieved and plan how you will do it. Production consists of the following stages: Content, Design and Construction, Testing, Launch and Handover. I found the author's attention to content complications particularly interesting. In my experience, content is the area where web site designers and builders are the weakest, yet plays one of the most critical roles in the users' return. Maintenance plays a critical role in the updating and evolution of the site, so that it can retain and grow its user base. The final phase, Evaluation, is something of great importance to site builders and clients. Clients are demanding their web sites provide a return on investment. Sites must perform a commercial as well as a branding and marketing function to justify continued investment. If a financial benefit can be established, it is much easier to receive continued funding for existing projects or to undertake new ones. If you are involved-however tangentially-with web site development and support, you owe it to yourself to have a well-worn copy of this book gracing your bookshelves. Friedlein writes from experience - and that experience will save you time, money and quite a few headaches.

Summary: Just started reading and can't get enough
Review: I started reading on Friday. What can I say... it changed my expectation from the mundane task of ploughing through the obligatory text excercise book, to reading an enjoyable and brilliantly styled insight into something I do day in day out. Buy it.

Summary: I must be missing something
Review: I was looking for a book on project mamagement and after reading all the 5 star reviews I bought the book. The reviewers must have not read any other books on project management or something because I could not even get past the first chapter. Lots of useless info and charts to fill pages. Boaring writing style, gave up and returned it! Get Web Design: Workflow that works by Kelly Goto and Emily Cotler instead.
