Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Do you recognise the business value of "execution"--the critical ability to deliver what you promise, under budget and on time--but aren't quite sure how to get there consistently? The Complete Idiot's Guide to Project Management, by marketing and business-development specialists Sunny and Kim Baker, outlines proven ways to apply this key skill to various situations. In typical Idiot's Guide fashion, it explains all of the steps necessary to plan a project, assemble and lead teams, monitor progress and bring resultant efforts to a successful conclusion. Tips on resolving conflict, handling change, using software and keeping in touch with those involved are among the highlights. In a chapter called "Making Your Communications Count", for example, the Bakers examine numerous methods for distributing information that will "get your message across". They first look at the pros and cons of nine forms of interchange, from telephone and e-mail to memo and presentation; they then offer guidelines for creating effective messages and selecting appropriate delivery vehicles. Similar treatment also is given to other relevant topics, such as assembling adequate resources, launching projects in ways that motivate participants and moving team members to other roles once their current job is finished. --Howard Rothman

Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book covers all the bases, in a light hearted style. It's very good at making you consider what you need to be thinking about if you're a PM.
It suffers slightly from being over general and therefore lacking in specifics. You will need to find a book applicable to your own context to give you the real skinny on what you need to know.

If you want a book that is going to help you project manage then get this one.
For those who are new to project management and want to get grips with the basics this provides an excellent start; offering an accessible initiation without scaring the ... off you. A good confidence boost from the start! The Idiot Guides are great because they are easy to understand and they explain all the basics.

I work for a firm of management consultants who try to teach what this book says but take ten times as long over it. This book has perspective and common sense.
