Get It!,
This review is from: Project Management Demystified: Today's Tools and Techniques (Paperback)
Part of my job is to manage multiple projects on a day to day basis. I have therefore been looking for a good book to help with improving the Project Management process. This book is the first (of maybe 20+) that I have read about Project Management that is short and to the point. It is clearly written by somebody who not only knows what he is talking about but also somebody who understands how to get his message across. Highly recommended!

Project Management demystified: really!,
By
This review is from: Project Management Demystified (Paperback)
Hardened project managers may find the slightly tongue in cheek presentation a little hard to take, but this book is aimed at those who want to know more about the methodology without having to dive into the deep water of "serious" text books. Goeff Reiss manages to tread a fine line between lightness of touch and depth of focus. I can recommend this to anyone wanting to know more about the subject.

The Best Book on Project Management.,
By Squizzle (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Project Management Demystified: Today's Tools and Techniques (Paperback)
If you are new to Project Management, and even if you aren't, this is a cracking book to have.
It's coffee table readable but don't let that undermine it - its all sound stuff and plenty of "old hands" in project management would do well to read it as a refresher in the fundamentals. You won't learn any fancy techniques - if you want those, look elsewhere, but, as it says on the cover, it Demystifies Project Management. (Which may upset some !!) However, once you know what it is, you have a better chance of doing it yourself. Have a read of the first intro chaper on the Amazon site - if you don't like it, maybe it's not for you.
