Project Management JumpStart

Rating:
Summary: Excellent Beginner's Guide
Review: Project Management Jump Start is the best introduction to project management that I've seen. Easy to follow, conversational tone, thorough coverage of project planning, and ample examples and forms that can quickly be put to good use. I wish this book was around when I was just getting started!

As an author and project management professional, if I wrote a book like this it's what I would have written. I highly recommend this to new project managers, and project managers that are trying to explain to non-PM's what it is all about.

Summary: Not bad but for the examples
Review: While the book is okay, the examples are rather poor and simplistic. The layout is also done poorly and things are not easy to find. Each section has questions at the end which is rather nice but quite honestly, it is too geared towards internal small projects for it to be anything other than a basic book.
