An easy-to-follow blueprint for getting the project done on schedule, under budget, and according to specifications-every time

This Third Edition of an internationally bestselling guide provides project managers- in-training, product developers, and team leaders with a quick, easy way to master the basics of project management.

Using a lively, conversational style, project management guru Mickey Rosenau equips you with a set of general principles and "tested-in-the-trenches" techniques for managing projects in virtually any type of organization. He also arms you with original, easy-to-use tools for resolving any technical, mechanical, or personnel problem that can arise over the course of a project.

To make the complex discipline of project management as easy to understand and master as possible, Rosenau breaks it down into 22 chronological steps, grouped into five phases or processes-from defining project goals and planning the work to leading the team, monitoring progress, and completing the project.

Extensively revised to reflect the latest trends in the field, this Third Edition is nearly one-third larger than its predecessor and features fully integrated coverage of the latest cost estimating and project management software. It also includes, for the first time, a chapter on new product development projects.

Successful Project Management, Third Edition is an ideal primer for students and an indispensable quick reference for experienced project managers, team leaders, and new product developers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Basic Project Management Book for Product Development, April 11, 2001
By 
This review is from: Successful Project Management: A Step-by-Step Approach with Practical Examples, 3rd Edition (Hardcover)
I've read a number of project management books over the years, and very few of them fit at all in a product development environment. This book fits and matches product development very well. In fact, in my opinion, it is the best basic project management book on the market currently for application in product development. This shouldn't be a surprise though since Mickey Rosenau understands project management practice in the field of product development. Beware of the other authors who claim that they understand product development and then apply a traditional approach to project management. Project management in product development is different, and a traditional approach to project management doesn't work in product development. Stay away from the traditional management approach and get this book instead.

I had known nothing about the project management before reading this book and it really helps me for orientation in the field.

It is maybe a little bit chippy and from enterprise point of view (which I am not used to), but it helped me to understand the basics.
