By A Customer
This review is from: Five-phase Project Management: A Practical Planning And Implementation Guide (Paperback)
This book was extremely helpful in providing a framework for structuring my work group's projects. After implementing some new methods, our efficiency and productivity increased by at least 50 percent. It is easy to use and understand. Also good for training.

This review is from: Five-phase Project Management: A Practical Planning And Implementation Guide (Paperback)
A well researched book with excellent templates to help put all this knowledge into place. I am currently using it to help me manage the development of a large power plant in Brazil. I highly recommend reading and following the principles outlined by Wysocki and Weiss. A valuable tool for any project manager.

This is a good entry level book for a class. Easy to read and has great graphics. Good starting point book for project management. Would like to see them update a little bit as it is 10 years old
