The bestselling project management text for students and professionals--now updated and expanded This Eleventh Edition of the bestselling "bible" of project management maintains the streamlined approach of the prior editions and moves the content even closer to PMI(R)'s Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK(R)). New content has been added to this edition on measuring project management ROI, value to the organization and to customers, and much more. The capstone "super" case on the "Iridium Project" has been maintained, covering all aspects of project management. Increased use of sidebars throughout the book helps further align it with the PMBOK and the Project Management Professional (PMP(R)) Certification Exam. This new edition features significant expansion, including more than three dozen entirely new sections and updates on process supporting; types of project closure; project sponsorship; and culture, teamwork, and trust. This comprehensive guide to the principles and practices of project management: Offers new sections on added value, business intelligence, project governance, and much more Provides twenty-five case studies covering a variety of industries, almost all of which are real-world situations drawn from the author's practice Includes 400 discussion questions and more than 125 multiple-choice questions Serves as an excellent study guide for the PMP Certification Exam (PMI, PMBOK, PMP and Project Management Professional are registered marks of the Project Management Institute, Inc.)
If the rest of the book is info filled as the book overview I will pass my PM exam with no problems.

Solid book covering the basics of project management. Kernzers is the goal standard for graduate level PM courses. Some integration of PMBoK information, but I do not think it would be good reference for the PMP test.

This book is well thoughtout and easy to read. The layout including the PMI PMP reference is excellent.
Great ideas, but do they work? Yes!

I have applied the information in this book to my company. My company has been reorganizing and has started using project managers. The book is a great resources (I pull it off my shelf no less than 2 times each week).The end of each chapter has a case study that reviews real world scenerios which forces readers to apply theories to real situations.
