5.0 out of 5 stars Checklists for every aspect of project management, 13 Feb 2000

By A Customer

Any person whether beginner or long term practitioner will pick up some useful points in this book. There are checklists for everything. Two third of the book is concerned with getting started the right way. That is very good because the most common cause for project failure is poor preparation. The book points out the importance of identifying stakeholders in a project both inside and outside the company, and bringing those on board from the beginning and keeping them there. A very important point often neglected. If anybody would execute every checklist his or her project will never start. The book does not differentiate between a project like building a bridge with the use of many contractors, an internal product development project like a new car or computer and an organisational change project. The different nature of these projects has consequences for how they should be organised, launched and managed. Therefore the user of the book has to use good judgement to pick out the useful bits. For a handbook it is short 224 pages. That is an advantage. The information is densely packed and still easy to read and understand.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good book... I do like it..., 5 Mar 2007

By	Ivan Virgili (London, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Project Management cluster sheet: The Handbook of Project Management: A Practical Guide to Effective Policies and Procedures: 6 (Paperback)

It is probably not ideal for total beginners, but it is very good for people who have project managed in the past or have some knowledge of project managing. It goes through all the stages, talks about the main tools, etc. and if you need a quick refreshing course, then you should read this book. It is serious about the subject, but not boring.
