I had to use this book for a class in Project Management and this was required reading. The "10 Minute Guide to Project Management book is very concise, to the point and yet it is not dry were I lost interest in reading it. In fact, if one really takes what the author writes to heart, they will glean much in a short amount of time.

Remember, this book is NOT all-inclusive and for the low price one shouldn't expect it to be. However, it is time well spent in reading it.

This book is nifty beyond words. It takes the complex topic of project management and boils it down to the essence, all in less than two hundred pages. If you've been assigned some project to head up at work, or you aspire to be a project manager, the ten minute guide to project management is as good a starting text and you probably will find.

4.0 out of 5 stars A quick overview of project management, February 3, 2001

The book is a good, quick read about the hows 'n' whys of project management. I'd like to have seen a bit more about the pros 'n' cons of using project management software, but that's OK.

If you're looking for a book specifically about software project management, immediately start with Steve McConnell's "Software Project Survival Guide".
