5.0 out of 5 stars Short and straight to the point, 13 Feb 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Project Management (DK Essential Managers) (Paperback)

This ist by far one of the best introductions in project management. I bought it at the airport just because it is cheap, small, short (64 Pages) and looked very simple to read and understand.
I am surprised that it covers all steps of perfect project management including several examples and lots of task-lists and strucured plans.
As an IT/Financial project manager I have it always with me because it is an excelent support to me.

4.0 out of 5 stars Don't mock it., 28 Aug 2008

By	J. lee (Sheffield, England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

In many organisations these days team leaders and managers are expected to Project Manage. People in the function of Project Manager might find it loathsome because they haven't spent �40 on it, but nevertheless I found that it contains very useful soft aspects to team management where team members are identified with team player attributes and not just the functions they perform. If you work in an organisation where Excellence in Management is important it's a worthwhile buy, especially as there are useful suggestions about leadership.

1.0 out of 5 stars How many project managers does it take to change a lightbulb?, 3 Aug 2007

By	Mr. A. Brown (Northampton, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I really cannot believe how bad this book is. It follows the loathesome "Essential Managers" format, with cheesy photos, and handy hints that state the completely obvious. There is nothing of any depth in this book whatsoever and the case studies are the size of a postage stamp and written in words of one syllable.

The difficulties in real life project management - dealing with people, dealing with change, communicating effectively, balancing demands of customers, sponsors and other stakeholders - are barely even mentioned.

I cannot think of anyone who would learn anything from reading this book and I cannot recommend anyone spend their money on it. There are plenty of real project management books out there.
