3.0 out of 5 stars The book doesn't cover everything in the PMBOK Guide
The book is ok, though not great in terms of a study guide for the PMI Test, which is the primary reason for my purchase.

It does provide a good overview & discussion on the topics it covers, but it doesn't cover everything outlined in the PMBOK Guide.

Because it doesn't cover all topics, this book doesn't add significant value as a study guide for the PMI...

This review is from: The Project Management Institute Project Management Handbook (Jossey-Bass Business & Management Series) (Hardcover)
The book is ok, though not great in terms of a study guide for the PMI Test, which is the primary reason for my purchase.

It does provide a good overview & discussion on the topics it covers, but it doesn't cover everything outlined in the PMBOK Guide.

Because it doesn't cover all topics, this book doesn't add significant value as a study guide for the PMI Exam. The book would be a good overview/discussion book on the topics covered as it gives various "expert" writings on the issues examined.

As an official PMI Publication, I assumed it would cover all topics in the PMBOK. I guess this is what happens when we shop virtually vs brick/mortar.

5.0 out of 5 stars COMPREHENSIVE, REWARDINGLY DETAILED, HIGHLY READABLE!, April 5, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Project Management Institute Project Management Handbook (Jossey-Bass Business & Management Series) (Hardcover)
Jointly published by Jossey-Bass and the Project Management Institute, the book's goal is to present a comprehensive guide that covers the central features in the field of project management, addressing: the key aspects of projects and their role in organization; scope management and project planning; human resource management; and integrative issues that explore the project management process from a holistic viewpoint. This is an extremely comprehensive work. All the contributions are thoughtful and in depth.

This work is both highly readable and rewardingly detailed, delving into lots of valuable technical nitty-gritty, leaving this reviewer very impressed. Recommended. Reviewed by Gerry Stern, founder, Stern & Associates, author of Stern's Sourcefinder: The Master Directory to HR and Business Management Information & Resources, Stern's CyberSpace SourceFinder, and Stern's Compensation and Benefits SourceFinder.

3.0 out of 5 stars huh?, June 14, 2004
This review is from: The Project Management Institute Project Management Handbook (Jossey-Bass Business & Management Series) (Hardcover)
don't you doctors make enough money? $88 US for one book? That must be some kind of joke, or you are taking some serious meds.

do us all a favour and look at the prices of similar books and don't be so greedy.
