Good Overview of Project Management
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
This book offers a good overview of all the key processes in project management. It is clear and easy to understand. Case studies are included so you can see how the concepts are applied. I don't think the "24 hours" is a gimmick. You can read each chapter in about an hour. However, it would take a little longer if you worked out the exercises for the case study.
Well written and complete

Nice book. Does the job of many other books. Good work.
Project Management by Nancy Mingus
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
This is a well written, very thorough book on an important topic. Project management can be dry (as my students will attest), but the clear writing, numerous examples, various kinds of sidebars, and case studies, make it interesting. The sidebars include FYI's, "Just a minute" advice, cautions, time savers, and "go to" cross references. The book is well organized, carefully covering the basics then moving through starting a project, developing, executing, controlling, and closing it out. It includes chapters on project management software, and she even includes a section on celebrating the end of a project with pizza and wings. Talk about being thorough! The book was written primarily for self-education (the title is "Teach Yourself" ...), but it would serve equally well as the textbook in a project management course, or as a supplement in a systems analysis course. Personally, I do not care for the "24 hour" idea, with the topics indicated by Hour 1, Hour 2, etc., but that artifact can be ignored.
