4.0 out of 5 stars Project Managers -Great book to start into your CMS project., April 7, 2009

By	Snail Lady "Kathy" (Northern Virginia, USA) - See all my reviews

This book is a solid intro to Content Management and how to approach it as a project. Good for the entire team of an organization to get everyone on the same footing, create conversation and align on where a project is headed. The reading is not too technical, thus easy for the non-IT person as well.
