This is a good tool to use if you're not familiar with Information Technology Project Management. It takes you through every stage of project management.

I got this for a class, and ended up really enjoying reading it. I got quite a bit more out of it than I originally expected. I recommend it, if you're interested in or wish to work toward refining your skills in IT project management.

In this textbook on managing information technology (IT) projects, Jack T. Marchewka gives clear explanations of sound project-management principles. The book's organization and tone are designed for a college setting. Of course, you can read the book on your own and get a great deal from it, even without classroom discussion of its case studies and review questions. Note the bullet points that list each chapter's objectives as items to prioritize as you read. Each chapter's summary will help you determine if you picked up what the author is trying to share. Marchewka's language is formal but readable, and he focuses less on entertaining you than on communicating solid, useful information. He thoroughly describes IT projects' special considerations, emphasizing the importance of human interaction and employee training and skills. getAbstract recommends this book to project managers with IT backgrounds who want to hone their people-management skills and to general project managers who want information on handling IT projects.

Great book, would have been nice to obtain a cheaper version w/o the MS Project 07 trial.

Information Technology Project Management

I purchase this book used. The CD was missing. I was under the impression that it was included.

The book arrived quickly and was in perfect condition. Came with the software which installed perfectly. I was very pleased with it.
