Project Management: A Managerial Approach

Hi recieved the product within 15 days as prescribed. Loved the small packaging cheap and environment friendly. Thank you.

we used this book in our undergraduate SE project management classes to prepare students to run their senior year project. the results were great. this book has just enough explanation of practical techniques, without going into the history and theory of management like the really thick books we use in the graduate courses. this book covers all the management topics a student or working SE would need to successfully run a project. just add experience and common sense and stir:) we let the students make their mistakes in their junior year class project while learning pm at the same time. they gain a good appreciation for what the book was telling them to do when they see the problems they had when they ignored (or didnt understand) what they should have done for planning and running a project. if you are a professional manager, executive, or going for a PMP cert then you will need to follow up with something more detailed. But for initially learning pm andor understanding it this book is excellent. you dont need to do a project if you read the book and do the exercises/questions. but usign the material on a real project does a great job of reinforcing the need for good pm. I wish that i had had somethign like this to read when i was starting out. it helps the technical folks understand what management is doing and why, which will help how they interact and will result in a better SE efforts for the overall project. this is a good introductory book for self study as well as a good textbook. it is worth getting.

I've taken 3 Project Management courses in my university graduate program and this was the book I used in the first course. Those in the other two courses should never have been published. I keep referring back to this one. It is solid, up-to-date, including theory and real-world examples.

This is an outstanding book. Whether you are new to project management or and old-hand, this book covers many topics in a business like and mature fashion.I especially recommned it to IT project managers, precisley because it ISNT focused on IT. It is very informative to see how project management is carried out in other industries.This book cant help but broaden your appreciation of this vitally important aspect of management.

THERE IS A 4TH EDITION , YEAR 2000 USED BY US AT UNIVERSITY OF PHOENIX IN PUERTO RICO. THE BOOK IS SO FRIENDLY BECAUSE IS FOCUSED TO MANAGERS IN ORDER TO MANAGE THE CYCLE OF LIFE OF A PROJECT. OTHER BOOKS ARE ECONOMIC OR ENGINEERING ORIENTED AND TOO DIFFICULT TO TAUGHT AND FOR LEARNING PURPOSES. THANKS A HAD THIS BOOK SO I COULD TRANSMIT TH EMESSAGE MORE CLEAR. DRA. MARRERO
