5.0 out of 5 stars A Project Management "Must-Have", December 12, 1999

By	Carl L. Pritchard "Z-box" (Frederick, MD) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

David and Lew and achieved a great deal in project management. Now, they are practicing what they preach. This book, much like a Work Breakdown Structure, is a thoughtful, logical (and very readable) decomposition of the work to be done in establishing and maintaining individual projects or a vast project management enterprise.

The Best Feature? The annotated bibliographies are peerless in terms of adding value and pointing toward other quality project management information.

Good detail from the work package to the program level.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Real On-The-Job PM Tool, January 12, 2000

By	Marion J. Tyler (Colorado Springs, CO, USA) - See all my reviews

Finally, the PM profession has a follow-on to Linn Stuckenbruck's "The Implementation Of Project Management: The Professional's Handbook." Lew and Dave have packaged the esentials of the PM profession in one excellent book. The only thing lacking would be some templates for examples. I now have a replacement text, to accompany the "Guide to the PMBOK," for the PM courses I teach. This book is where the PM profession is going.
