Customer comments on this selection.
 Caution
This book does not include SimProject in case you need it for your class. It took a week of calls to McGraw-Hill to track down a copy, which ended up costing me 50$ after shipping.
Other then simproject its the same exact book as in the campus book stores and for significantly cheaper.
Project Management Excellent
This book was is excellent condition. Just like all the other books I buy from Amazon. Some high lighing, but I knew of that before I purchased the book. Overall, I would recommend this seller to other buyers.
 Good introductory book, but impractical
This wordy book is more heavy on management than on project management because the business professors are understandably not trained in project-specific disciplines. Hence, there is inadequate coverage of how projects are actually managed, particularly costing and key contractual issues. Even on their own terrain, the business relations are mostly asserted without solid research backing (e.g. section on culture, where certain cultures are asserted to be pro-projects, but the causal links are missing). If you are looking to teach students basic PM processes, this book is worth a look as the explanation is clear. But if you are a practitioner, learn from your discipline-specific masters. So I have to knock off 2 stars for inadequate coverage, and impracticality.
Good textbook for a novice
It seems that many people didn't like this book, but I used it for a class on PM & found it to be pretty good. I had no prior knowledge of the field. I really liked the accompanying Student CD-ROM for study & review of the material. I used the Microsoft Project trial CD-ROM & found that extremely useful also. I would recommend it as introductory material.
 Good to go.
Product was delivered on time and in the condition as described. Good deal.
