Summary: Super text w/ chapter questions, case studies, real life PM
Review: Super textbook for first and second year project management students. Breadth and depth of subject matter only is paralleled by each chapter's case studies, real life project management stories, class discussions, problem sets, and glossary. Due to its wide audience, text can become "technical" for a general project management course.
Highly recommend.

Summary: An Ok text book. Gets the general principles across.
Review: The book provides good insight into project management. Suitable for beginning or intermediate level. A few of the concepts and readings are quite out of date. The third edition was last copyrighted in 1995. This can be an eternity in the fast changing project management arena. An update, to include current (1999) concepts and techniques, could make this an excellent text instead of a good text.

Summary: Awful Book

Review: THERE IS A 4TH EDITION , YEAR 2000 USED BY US AT UNIVERSITY OF PHOENIX IN PUERTO RICO. THE BOOK IS SO FRIENDLY BECAUSE IS FOCUSED TO MANAGERS IN ORDER TO MANAGE THE CYCLE OF LIFE OF A PROJECT. OTHER BOOKS ARE ECONOMIC OR ENGINEERING ORIENTED AND TOO DIFFICULT TO TAUGHT AND FOR LEARNING PURPOSES. THANKS A HAD THIS BOOK SO I COULD TRANSMIT TH EMESSAGE MORE CLEAR. DRA. MARRERO

Summary: SAVE YOUR MONEY - DO NOT BUY!
Review: This book makes learning Project management difficult. It does not clearly define anything. It is full of endless (and senseless) babble and author's "opinions" very few facts. I fully believe this is a required text because of the website Wiley created and the "bonus" cd of Project 2002. The website makes teaching the class a breeze, it gives the teacher quizzes and tests, therefore, the teacher doesn't have to muddle through the maze of crap to find out information. The quizzes are not general but tipically, "what message did the author's try to convey on page such and such".This book is not worth it!

Summary: An outstanding guide to the field.
Review: This is an outstanding book. Whether you are new to project management or and old-hand, this book covers many topics in a business like and mature fashion. I especially recommned it to IT project managers, precisley because it ISNT focused on IT. It is very informative to see how project management is carried out in other industries. This book cant help but broaden your appreciation of this vitally important aspect of management.
