4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Intro to PM, June 3, 1999
This review is from: Successful Project Management: A Practical Guide for Managers (Paperback)
I took a course in PM and was frustrated by the textbook (PM: Strategy and Implementation by DI Cleland) that was assigned so I searched the library stacks for introductory texts to Project Management. This one is one of the best. It is comprehensive and down to earth, with good clean figures and illustrations. Nuthin' fancy, just a good and clearly written introduction to project management.

The Cleland book is written for perhaps MBA or civil engineering students who will be looking at the planning and management of international scope projects. It is an encyclopedic book with epic scope but little nuts and bolts information. It might make a handy reference but is not real helpful to someone who needs to know the basic terms and concepts used by working project managers. The Gido and Clements book fits that bill and frankly I would recommend it to the MBAs and civil engineers too if they were new to PM.
