1.0 out of 5 starsProject management? More like project futility!
By Uncle Buck on July 25, 2002
Format: Hardcover
The author is too eager to impress you with his knowledge and ability to build confusing and complex sentences. I've found I need to read a chapter several times to get anything out of it. Even after several readings, taking notes, I'm not sure what is going on. The book provides allot of chaff with very few "Deliverables".
Unless you are already an experienced project manager looking for a new angle this one is better left on the shelf.

Too bad there isn't a zero star rating, this book really deserves it...

1.0 out of 5 starsUsed this for a college class that I hated, so my opinion may be biased
By Steve on October 30, 2015
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
Used this for a college class that I hated, so my opinion may be biased.I can't stand project management theories that don't work out in real life. I work in an engineering field, and I have never seen any of the information employed once, and I work for G.E. I'll say that again for people who don't believe me - My team has never used a Gant Chart, a Brun Down Chart, or Waterfall method. That being said, maybe there are places where these theories do work out in real life.

4.0 out of 5 starsGood textbook for a novice
By Terry on July 1, 2007
Format: Hardcover
It seems that many people didn't like this book, but I used it for a class on PM & found it to be pretty good. I had no prior knowledge of the field. I really liked the accompanying Student CD-ROM for study & review of the material. I used the Microsoft Project trial CD-ROM & found that extremely useful also. I would recommend it as introductory material.

3.0 out of 5 starsThis book can be improved
By Michael Vilkin on December 12, 2009
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
This is a good book about project management, but it can be improved. In this day and age project management is done with computer programs. I got an A for the Project Management course, but if I go "into trenches", I will have to tell my boss that I don't have a slightest clue how to use even relatively simple project management computer programs like Microsoft Project.

I'd dedicate a large part of the book to inform students how to use project management computer programs. When you are in the trenches, knowing all the theory about star wars does not help. You have to know how to shoot a lowly rifle.

Then again, this book is not a manual for Microsoft Project. The real problem is that our colleges do not teach real world skills like using computer programs for accounting, project management, etc. After getting your MBA you might have to buy a copy of QuickBooks and learn how to use it.

4.0 out of 5 starsGood Way to Buy a Textbook
By Coco the Koi on September 17, 2010
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
The book was fine, used, but certainly serviceable as a textbook. I was pleased that the CD that came with the book new was still there and worked perfectly well. Make sure your instructor says its okay to use this edition - the page numbers are significantly different than the 5th edition, but the price is also significantly less.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat intro book
By Ourocard on January 28, 2012
Format: Hardcover
It's well explained. It's not a prescriptive book (receipt).

To those starting out it's a great reference. It's easy to understand and not "wordy". There are many charts and pictures that make some points easier to remember. The case studies make the book more consistent/relevant as you can see how project management, of lack of it, impacts on the aimed result.

The cd is nothing special, I wish there were more things, like the quiz found online (on its website), more exercises. Just a complaint is that there's no solution to the proposed exercises. They could at least sell another book (solution manual). There's a new edition though.

4.0 out of 5 starsCaution
By C. Rutterbush on October 6, 2008
Format: Hardcover
This book does not include SimProject in case you need it for your class. It took a week of calls to McGraw-Hill to track down a copy, which ended up costing me 50$ after shipping.

Other then simproject its the same exact book as in the campus book stores and for significantly cheaper.
