Although there seems to be good information in this book, it is so poorly written, and the grammer so poor, it is increadably hard to read. The editors did not do avery good job making the book readable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book, Recomended on the A-List of PM books, March 2, 1999

The Project Management Paradigm is a superb resource for Project Managers. The author has created a tremendous resource for organizations. I have purchased copies as standard reading material for both our new Project Managers and experienced personnel.

This review is from: The Project Management Paradigm (Practitioner Series) (Paperback)

In numerous instances there is too much detail. The book is full of useful information based upon the practical experience of the author.

Experienced Project Managers can find some Gems that perhaps they have forgotten.

New Project Managers will find many practical approaches that can be used in their projects.

Managers in general can find the book useful in understanding what Project Managers do and what Project Mangement is all about.

Students can use it as a reference.

All-in-all it can be a useful addition to any library.
