The book was easy to understand and used numerous real life examples. Also, the book now includes a demo of Project 2000 not Project 98. But the companion CoursePrep ExamGuide has numerous faults. I would wait for a second edition on that one.

This text is very thorough in its overview of IT project management. Through with the book website, several templates are offered to assist you in managing and developing projects.
The author does a good job of highlighting major issues in each project area, and includes several exercises taking you through each step of the project management process. Be warned, the book is more of a textbook than a practioner read as there are too few real world examples to be an easy read for non-students.

I’m using this book in my graduate project management class. It does a good job of reenforcing the concepts and terms used throughout the chapters. The one problem I have with it is that the author loves the word “and” too much. The sentences drag on for ever sometimes like the one below talking about Change Management: “Configuration Management ensures that the descriptions of the project’s products are correct AND complete, AND concentrates on the management of technology by identifying AND controlling the functional AND physical design characteristics of products AND their support documentation.” Man, that’s a mouth full!
