A friend of mine suggested that I start to look at Project Management to help me organize the variety of projects I do at work in a largeautomotive company. (Interestingly enough, the division I'm in has no real PM processes in place.) I searched for books that could get me going in the right direction and as quickly as possible (in addition to joining the Project Management Institute...) This book was an easy read, but presented a lot of tools that I could implement almost immediately. After reading the book, I started seeing very obvious improvement in my team's work - we started to actually understand what we wanted to accomplish and where we were going. If you're interested in getting a quick start and basic understanding about PM, start with this book! |

The Bakers use PMI terminology (the project initiating, planning, executing, controlling and closing processes), and provide good guidance throughout the book to beginners.
Each chapter is well structured with a clear introduction, middle and summary. There are practical common sense tips throughout the book, examples are easy to follow and there are useful bullet points that you can use as checklists for your projects.
If you are a seasoned projet manager, this book is not for you. However, it can be of great use if you are planning to create a project management training session for your company/clients.

This is a great book to learn the basics - regardless of the type of project you're working on. Get it first - before you try the Dummies' guide. It's much better - and provides good background for the PMI certification as well. I was able to apply this information from day one. Thank you Bakers! |

Sunny and Kim Baker have translated the Project Management Institute's standards into plain English. I have frequently recommended it to my clients and colleagues, as an excellent "Project Management 101" introductory course. For beginners, I can say "go read the book, then let's talk". As for veterans, too many so-called project managers do not truly understand project management. This book shows the big picture, and teaches how to avoid the pitfalls into which we so often fall. |

For people new to PM, this is THE book. I loved the flow, easy to use charts, references to projects large and small, and the way the book puts some humor into the subject as well. Highly recommended. I'll keep it on top of my desk for all my employees to borrow. |

This is a good first book for those without any project experience. It explains concepts clearly, and gives good examples. It will probably not provide enough depth for those individuals who are beyond the beginning phase: again, that doesn't appear to be its intent. I enjoy the way this series chunks information into easily digestible forms. |
