5.0 out of 5 starsAn Excellent Practical Introduction to the Changing Methodologies in Project Management
By Mark on May 12, 2014
Format: Kindle Edition
The project management domain is continuously changing. The actual practice of project management is moving away from the linear traditional project management approach that evolved from the 1940s (basic waterfall) towards a broadening embrace of iterative agile product management processes that have roots in software development.

Perhaps because of this, project management books seem to be generally grouped into one of two buckets: strong in either traditional project management or in agile project management. Additionally, many of the traditional project management books are narrowly directed towards content needed for preparation for the PMP® professional certification exam. But what about readers who are seeking a good practical overview of the practice of project management, including how the different approaches relate to each other and how a practitioner might choose one over the other in particular circumstances? This is where Dr. Wysocki’s book shines. Note: my review is based on the most recent seventh edition of the book.

I came across this book while making a selection for project management texts for a graduate business course I was going to teach. I wanted a text that captured the current dynamic thinking in project management by providing a foundation in the traditional processes while explaining the emerging tools beyond the traditional methodologies. The subtitle of this book says it all: "Traditional, Agile, Extreme."

I actually selected this text to use in my course before this seventh edition was even published. Having reviewed the sixth edition, I correctly assumed that the seventh addition would reflect even more contemporary thinking. I was not disappointed.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsEssential
By Michael D. Markle on March 26, 2014
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This book was first used as a text in my Foundations course at Brandeis University. Since then, I have bought the updates to it as it is in my estimation the best text out there. This will not exactly prepare you for the PMP exam. For that I recommend Head First PMP by Jennifer Greene.

3.0 out of 5 starsThere are parts of this text that I do not ...
By Amazon Customer on November 7, 2015
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
There are parts of this text that I do not quite agee with. One example is how the author renames or changes concepts that are already well defined in the PMBOK. The author also shows a bias towards Agile Project Management, but describes most processes in the Traditional Project Management context.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat book about project management
By Jose Ignacio Gomez Espinola on April 5, 2014
Format: Paperback
I have used the previous edition and now I am working with this one for my classes about "Software Project Management" at University. It is a great book about project management and it takes a very interesting point of view focused on a practical view about how to apply project management depending on the kind of project, people, stakeholders...

I like very much how he understands the application of the acronym IRACIS (Increase Revenue, Avoid Costs, Improve Services) for the choice of the whole set of requirements for a project and how to decide the type of project to follow according with these features.

Slides are available too, and they are a very useful tool as a support to my classes

Congratulations for this book!
