This review is from: Project Management Made Simple: A Guide to Successful Management of Computer Systems Projects (Yourdon Press Computing Series) (Textbook Binding)
This easy to read book provides the project manager with a set of cookbook type recipes for successfully managing a systems project. Simple charts and tables are provided to ensure that nothing is forgotten or missed in the sometimes chaotic world of managing projects. Humorous anecdotes and references help to soften this often boring topic. A "must" for all project managers and those who need to understand this subject.

I have used this book for since 1995 to help manage computer projects at/on both formal and informal environments. The step-by-step layout allows you to adapt the techniques in this book to whatever you happen to be doing. The only thing I could wish could be added would be some information on managing object oriented projects (something I have had to improvise on...lazy as that sounds!). Anyway, this book is excellent and should be on the shelf of every project manager's desk. After six years I still take it down and browse through it for suggestions.

I have ask many people for direction and was told just do it and you will learn. I am 55 and starting a new project in a new world. This book is what I have been looking for,for over a year. I am an old dog trying to learn new tricks and this book hits the mark 110%. I wish I could find more in this format.
