I had known nothing about the project management before reading this book and it really helps me for orientation in the field. It is maybe a little bit chippy and from enterprise point of view (which I am not used to), but it helped me to understand the basics.

Best Basic Project Management Book for Product Development
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
I've read a number of project management books over the years, and very few of them fit at all in a product development environment. This book fits and matches product development very well. In fact, in my opinion, it is the best basic project management book on the market currently for application in product development. This shouldn't be a surprise though since Mickey Rosenau understands project management practice in the field of product development. Beware of the other authors who claim that they understand product development and then apply a traditional approach to project management. Project management in product development is different, and a traditional approach to project management doesn't work in product development. Stay away from the traditional management approach and get this book instead.
Nice book, easy to read, and ready to put in practice.
