Armed with these tools the reader will be able to plan every aspect of an IS project and ensure that it is implemented on time, within budget and to quality standards.
Practising project managers, systems analysts and students alike will benefit from practical advice, new ideas and case-based evidence of best and worst practice which will enhance their ability to implement project management theory. The integration of a variety of project management methodologies means that the reader will be able to apply the right method to the right situation.

Format:Paperback
Project Management for Information Systems is a core text for many degree courses in Information Systems. The book is concise, and follows through in a well written style that is easy to understand for the beginner and sufficiently in depth for the more advanced reader to benefit.
I particularly like the broad ranging references to a number of systems development methodologies, and the particular in depth discussions on the roles people assume and their interactions.
I'd recommend this book to any student studying a course in Project Management, and anyone undertaking a project of any size.

Format:Paperback
I used Cadle as accompanying literature to support my ISEB certificate in project management course notes. It was invaluable for providing a bigger picture than the methodology text books could do alone. The book provides summaries questions and a case study at the end of each chapter which allows evaluation of your understanding before proceeding further. Now used as a desk companion for quick reference purposes.
