This review is from: The Project Management Question and Answer Book (Paperback)
This book is like a spoken introductory course to get prepare for the PMP test. The positive side is that the book is organized in the phases of a project. It covers samples while explaining the content. The book can not be used alone for the PMP exam, but it is enough to start running project the right way. If you are not involved at all in project management, you might need to understand some term before reading the book. I will encourage you to read the book at least two times to memorize the most important issues in PM.
