Absolute Beginner’s Guide to Project Management
This is a mediocre book on project management. There is some good information in there…However, project management is a very mature field and there is a standard for it…this book is not compatible with the PMBOK Guide that holds the standard for the project management. It’s ok to use it as long as you know it. Also the flow of the coverage is not very logical…but it’s an ok book…

I’m a technical person and recently had a new responsibility of managing a short term project.
I grabbed this book and read it now thrice. It has given me insights that I applied from Day 1. I recommend this to technical leads or small business owners. There are some things the technical minded will not think of at first. So better grab a copy and read it!

I am not a project manager, but the skills of a project manager can apply to any profession. I found the book easy to read and understand. I especially liked the review at the end of each chapter. The notes and tips were also helpful and I enjoyed the pictures – they lighten up the subject matter. The book lives up to its claim – no prior project management experience necessary.

The book has a lot of information regarding Project Management, but almost all is written by topics. It’s difficult the learning, once you have lots of information without enough comments.
One very nice chapter is about Microsoft Project; show a great collection of “core essential information”, not only showing you how to make a simple schedule.

We found that this book is very informative for anyone wanting to get into Project management. I would recommend this book highly.
