Jerry Rosen, writing in Performance and Instruction Journal, May/June 1992, said,"... Mike's book, ID Project Management, is a real life saver... specifically targeted at people who manage ID projects... very much a "how to" book... Mike offers numerous tips, techniques, and tools that are guaranteed to help save you and your clients time, aggravation, and money... The most enduring values of the book lies in its extensive collection of job aids... 37 worksheets, guidelines and checklists...you will refer to again and again."

Richard H. Miller, in the Columbia Northwest Chapter NSPI Newsletter, Spring 1992, wrote, "The scope of the book is wide, and follows an ID project through a logical sequence from start to finish in ten steps... I feel that this book is a very worthwhile addition to the professional library of any Human Performance consultant.. Whether s/he is just a beginner who needs a lot of guidance in approaching a new, confusing, and perhaps overwhelming task, or an "old pro" who will find a fresh approach and/or some handy job aids useful. I'm certainly glad that I've got it on my bookshelf, but I'm afraid that it won't retain its shiny new condition for very long."

Scott Schwab and Don Smellie (Dept. Head, Dept. of Instructional Technology, Utah State University, Logan, Utah) writing in Educational Technology Magazine, March/April 1992 said, "This book is a compilation of tools and techniques that have a proven track record...A synthesis of patterns and practices observed by Michael Greer over the past twenty years. The book is an impressive resource and guide to those interested in ID Project Management. It is full of easy to use worksheets, guidelines, rules of thumb, and suggestions. It is especially exciting to see a font sizes, visually well organized, uncluttered pages, etc. It is thorough and well-written and would be a valuable addition to the personal library of any Instructional Designer and Developer."

For the record, this book was awarded "ID Tool of the Year" from AECT's Division of Instructional Development.
