This is simply the best book on project management tools and techniques I've seen. The text is clear, concise, and non-academic. The book is well- organized, making it easy to find information about whatever interests you. While this book is a good reference, it's also a book you can read from the first page to the last, unlike many "reference" books. Mr Lewis obviously knows what he's talking about, and knows how to present it well. I couldn't possibly recommend the book more highly! |

This book was a Required Book for a Project Management college course that I took. The book gives a good overview of the basic Project Management techniques that everyone uses, however, it does not get into real detail about some topics. It is good for the beginning Project Manager, or a student, but I wouldn't recommend it for someone studying for their PMP exam. The PMI PMBOK is a better reference for studying for the exam in my opinion. |

For a project manager with little or no experience, this remains the book to keep on the shelf for times of trouble. It's a good introduction for students and has one or two moves that some of us might not have thought of. That said, it doesn't go into as much depth as it could, and is rather selective about which techniques it's going to detail. |

As the name states, this is really the desk reference for any one want to understand all the different aspects of project management with reasonable depth. It covers all the different project management parts without being neither too broad nor too specialized with referral to other text books in case the reader wants to read more about a specific topic. I do recommend for three types of readers: a) New project managers or anyone who wants to be a project manager, b) A project manager by experience and s/he needs to learn the rules for project management and how to be do things professionally, c) Any project managers even the highly experienced ones as you really want stop checking it from time to time as a reference book. The author has a perfect talent of holding all the lines togather and goes through the book in steady steps. |

In the Project Manager's Desk Reference, Lewis presents a comprehensive approach to project management. He then goes through his model step by step from developing a concept to final project review and close out. The templates and additional models he uses along the way are extremely helpful. He addresses problem solving, risk management, and how to know when to pull the plug on a project. In the back of the book, there is a thorough checklist for project managers and a list of resources.
This book will be very helpful for anyone who needs to manage a project, expert and novice alike. The concepts and language are easy enough to understand for a novice, but so thorough that it will be useful to experts, too. The content tends to be more focused on projects dealing with research and design, product development, or something that is intended to be marketed and sold, rather than event planning. So event planner will probably want to look for another resource.
There is a wide range in regards to the suitability of graphics, textboxes, and tables. While some were extremely helpful and necessary, others were almost inappropriate, at best, or even distracting. The amateur nature of some of these graphics and textboxes only discredited the good context; but this book is an excellent book despite some of these things, but it would be even better without them. I would have also liked to see an appendix of the templates Lewis introduces throughout the book. |

Project Manager's Desk Reference is a complete, well-written guide about Project Management intended to college students and to any person not familiar with this subject.
The topics covered by this book include Project Planning, Scheduling (PERT), Controlling (Earned Value Analysis), Reporting/Evaluating and Risk Analysis. The book also discusses other subjects that certainly will be faced by the Project Manager, like how to Improve the Communication Skills, how to Solve Problems and Making Decisions.
This book is not intended to experienced managers that need more tools to conduct their projects. These people should look for specific books about the aspect of Project Management that they need to deep into, like Risk Management.
