5.0 out of 5 stars A Real On-The-Job PM Tool, January 12, 2000

By 

Marion J. Tyler (Colorado Springs, CO, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Project Manager's Portable Handbook (Paperback)

Finally, the PM profession has a follow-on to Linn Stuckenbruck's "The Implementation Of Project Management: The Professional's Handbook." Lew and Dave have packaged the esentials of the PM profession in one excellent book. The only thing lacking would be some templates for examples. I now have a replacement text, to accompany the "Guide to the PMBOK," for the PM courses I teach. This book is where the PM profession is going.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Project Management "Must-Have", December 11, 1999

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Project Manager's Portable Handbook (Paperback)

David and Lew and achieved a great deal in project management. Now, they are practicing what they preach. This book, much like a Work Breakdown Structure, is a thoughtful, logical (and very readable) decomposition of the work to be done in establishing and maintaining individual projects or a vast project management enterprise.

The Best Feature? The annotated bibliographies are peerless in terms of adding value and pointing toward other quality project management information.

Good detail from the work package to the program level.

This review is from: Project Managers Portable Handbook 3/E (Project Book Series) (Paperback)

Launched in 2010, this book contains valuable chapters treated in consensus PMBOK Third Edition, which focus on the strategic context of the project, Project Leadership, Culture Project alternating with information on initiating, planning and communication within the project. The thesis is useful for all practitioners in the field of project management, due to well-structured and concise way that is presented in each chapter.
