This new text by McGhee and McAliney is very readable and straightforward. It is a great resource to introduce practically-oriented project management into an organization, especially one that is adverse to complex textbooks. Interspersed within the text are very good and illuminating case studies that reinforce key teaching points within the text. Clearly, this text is an excellent resource for the inexperienced project manager and a good refresher for the experienced project manager.

As a management consultant, McGhee and McAliney's presentation of project management makes sense - very simple, straight forward and, most important, jargon free. This can be the best friend for front line and mid level managers who have been tasked by their organizations to manage a project - or multiple projects - and need a place to start. Painless Project Management is the playbook they can use to be successful.

This excellent book, written by experienced professionals, presents trusted and proven project management techniques, real-life cases, and astute risk management insight. It instills confidence, brings clarity, direction, and momentum to your mission, and ultimately guides the project manager to deliver successfully to satisfied clients. It includes a bonus set of valuable tool templates.
