Whether you work on huge, complex, international projects for one of the Fortune 50 or you are putting together a family reunion, you will find something of value in this little book. But don't let either the size of the book (pocket) or the size of the print (small) fool or intimidate you. The ideas are clear and accessible.

These two consultants have written a project management book for our times. Their approach is team-based and collaborative -- particularly useful for those of us who work in organizations that use teams but still think in functional silos -- as well as practical and flexible. Personally, I have always found other project management models to be too complex, too highly delineated, and too quantitative. This approach is logical, fact-based, and flexible enough for me to work the parts that apply and skip the ones that don't.

I highly recommend the book as well as the approach. If you want to get the full benefit of their methodology, bring the authors in for in-house training. That way, the kinesthetic and auditory processors in your organization will "get it" even better.

Here are new and improved, bite-sized morsels that are good for you! If you think that we are talking about a breakfast cereal, think again. These are the morsels of wisdom in the second edition of the Project Management Memory Jogger. They deal with the basics of both the art and the science of project management. Try some today and see how they help you become a better project manager.

excellent reference for the beginner or advanced PM that needs to look up something.
