Don't mock it. - By: J. lee, 28 Aug 2008 
In many organisations these days team leaders & managers are expected to Project Manage. Peoplein 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 & not just the functions they perform. If you workin an organisation where Excellencein Management is important it's a worthwhile buy, especially as there are useful suggestions about leadership.
How many project managers does it take to change a lightbulb? - By: Mr. A. Brown, 03 Aug 2007 
I really cannot believe how bad this book is. It follows the loathesome "Essential Managers" format, with cheesy photos, & handy hints that state the completely obvious. There is nothing of any depthin this book whatsoever & the case studies are the size of a postage stamp & writtenin words of one syllable.
The difficultiesin real life project management - dealing with people, dealing with change, communicating effectively, balancing demands of customers, sponsors & other stakeholders - are barely even mentioned.
I cannot think of anyone who would learn anything from reading this book & I cannot recommend anyone spend their money on it. There are plenty of real project management books out there.
Short and straight to the point - By: , 13 Feb 2002 
This ist by far one of the best introductionsin project management. I bought it at the airport just because it is cheap, small, short (64 Pages) & looked very simple to read & understand.
I am surprised that it covers all steps of perfect project management including several examples & lots of task-lists & strucured plans.
As an IT/Financial project manager I have it always with me because it is an excelent support to me.
