(More customer reviews)When you look at the goals of this book they are things like develop a methodology that works, using common tools like PERT, CPM, setting up communications within the team; in essence the real things that make a project successful. This also means that you learn enough that if you want to take the PMP test, you have the background and understanding to pass it.
This is the fourth edition of a book initially published in 1991. As the author says, it is written for the practitioner rather than the classroom. There are a number of books on passing the PMP exam. Most of them teach to the questions on the test without going into what you are really trying to do as a project manager. This book is different. It covers what it really takes to manage a project, and it does so with words that are easy to understand with photographs that are meaningful to the text.
This is the best book I know of to use when you really want to understand what project management is all about.
