About this title

Review:

When you are already familiar with the PMBOK Guide, this book gives you a comprehensive summary and reference. However, if the PMBOK Guide hasnt crossed your path yet this pocket guide is a must-read, especially when you are acting as a project sponsor, project manager, project team member which are the three key roles for project management as distinguished in this pocket edition. But also when acting in a project supporting role, e.g. in a project support office, the pocket edition gives you a condensed overview for understanding the key processes in project management. (Thomas Walenta, Certified Senior Project Manager, IBM Deutschland) I found this Pocket Guide interesting to review I look forward to the finished product. (Ray Riedel, Senior Global Program Manager, Hewlett Packard) I believe its content is useful for me as a reader and it should be for the reader in general to be used directly in practice. I think all graphics are helpful and facilitate the reader comprehension.; The style of writing is easy and pleasant to read in my opinion.
