DESCRIPTION:
A Comprehensive Practical Guide Derek Brown I have managed projects large and small over the years, both formally as a PM as well as informally. It's usually not easy, and certainly takes more discipline than most people would think. In order to be successful, I have had to develop my own tips and tricks - or what my peers call "best practices" - which have served me well. Stumbling through some incredibly complex projects created the need for me to develop my skills and it was painful. As a matter of self-preservation, I became an expert on the . This book is Project Management 101 If you are looking for "Project Management 101", you have found it. It's a quick, concise read that follows the PMI PEMBOK project management formula but breaks it down into just the essentials. If you are an engineer like me who occasionally has to manage a small project but find yourself thinking "There must be a better way!", this is the book for you.It's also a great introduction to the PMI methods if you are considering studying for the PMP certification.. "Perfect book for those of us who need PM skills but don't want to be become PMs" according to James A. This book is fantastic!Keep in mind its purpose (which is pretty clear, but a reminder). This is NOT for people who want to be true Project Managers with a PMP after their name. This is for the rest of us who often have to wear the PM hat for smaller projects. This is the minimum 20% that I need for 80% of my projects (80/20) rule and it's just the right amount of content. Not too much, but not skimpy either.
