5.0 out of 5 stars
Fantastic book for first-time project managers/leaders.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Getting a Project Done on Time: Managing People, Time, and Results (Hardcover)
I have read several business related books which have been a waste of my time. However, this book is clear, concise, and very easy to apply to daily work. It helps you by giving a defined process and also addresses the "what ifs" associated with many aspects of managing a project. I found the book easy to read and hard to put down. I found myself say "so thats why I have a hard time of accomplishing a certain phase of the project". Almost all of my questions were addressed....and answered in this book. It's a definite "must read" for new project managers.

This review is from: Getting a Project Done on Time: Managing People, Time, and Results (Hardcover)
This book is less analytical and more into the psychology of Project Mgmt. It gives you tips on how to manage people, delegate, time mgmt. presenting project results, among other subjects. This book covers more than the basics of project mgmt. It is a good book for people already in Project Mgmt.

This review is from: Getting a Project Done on Time: Managing People, Time, and Results (Hardcover)
Excellent for new project managers. Good information on fact finding and planning projects. The primary focus of the book, however, is on people skills. The author offers many good suggestions on gaining the cooperation of participants and influencing their managers. Well written and very easy to read.
