4.0 out of 5 stars A fast read that is both informative and concise., January 28, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Project Management, Revised (Fifty-Minute Series Book) (Paperback)

I read the book on a flight from Phoenix to Denver with time to spare. The chapters are well organized and the material is reinforced to the reader by the use of worksheets and a self-test. Though the depth of each of the topics covered is not extensive, the scope of the topics and the logical way they are presented allow the reader to develop a good grasp of the gist of project management. I am looking to make this book a mandatory read for employees going through our company's project management curriculum.

This review is from: Project Management, Revised (Fifty-Minute Series Book) (Paperback)

It goes over the basic ideas of project management without any real help in implementing them. It's sort of project management in a vacuum. It's good for getting a basic a grasp of terms and concepts for someone totally new to the field, perhaps a student. It is in workbook format with space to write out your own WBS, budget, and responsibility matrix for your imaginary project. It also has true/false comprehension quizzes. A very fast read.
