4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent PMP study resource, February 8, 2008

By	R. Florio - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The PMBOK guide is organized by knowledge areas, and this text presents the material by process groups. Looking at the project management processes from both perspectives was very helpful. The practice exam questions on the CD are close to what I saw on the actual exam, which I passed on my initial try. I also downloaded the audio recaps of each chapter to my iPod so I could listen while commuting. A couple of minor errors/typos, but overall I would recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Key to Program Management in Easy to Learn Format, June 28, 2008

By	Dianna Sabo "www.diannasabo.com" (Lexington, Kentucky) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you are working toward becoming a program manager, or a current program manager wanting to pursue certification, this book is excellent. It is well written and has exam preparation software so you can practice testing prior to taking your certification exam. The only shortcoming, which is very minor, is that the entire book is published black and white, which is somewhat boring and not as useful for charts and graphs. I assume that is a cost reduction for publishing and kept the price down.
