The included CD-ROM provides document templates as well as PowerPoint slides that can be modified and used for reporting progress to users and management.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best roadmap ever created for technology projects!, March 9, 2005
By Dora L. Wood (California) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have always wondered about how to effectively manage an IT project. I have experience on managing projects but as I needed to expand my horizons in regards to IT projects, this book allowed me to become very familiar with this process.

I particularly liked the section on how to be an effective leader of a project. Very insightful and useful book! I recommend it to anyone who has to lead a technology related project!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for Beginners, February 28, 2007
I have taken on a new task as a Program Manager so this book was excellent. It really laid out the processes and what you need to be an effective Project Manager. If you're new to technical PM, this is great. If you've got the experience, this book may not be for you. The CD that came with the book is full of great templates! The author made some very interesting points and is just a good book all around.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book on PM in Technology, April 29, 2007
If you work on technology projects, you will pick up some good tips from this book. You will also learn a few general pronciples of project management. However, do not expect it to be compatible with the PMI Standard for project management.
