This review is from: Project Management Demystified (Paperback)

In clear and concise writing Reiss presents a framework for understanding the concepts of project management. First he introduces you to the jargon and then goes though nine steps you need to reach a successful project. He addresses critical path concerns, and resource allocation. His section on criteria for choosing computer software was informative, but the scope of the programs he discusses is far beyond the needs of a small shop.
