Customer comments on this selection.
 A starting point for online project management
This book was a pioneer in esatblishging the scope of web project management - especially bringing together the creative and engineering sides to the project. It is applicable to dynamic and interactive websites such as found in online media and corporate websites.
The project management techniques are crude and the appreciation of the software engineering issues are simplistic: but the approcah used is still applicable to the majority of contemporary websites.
This is a sound starting point for people starting to engage with managing the design, development and maintenance of complex websites. It should not be taken as the current state of the art.
 The bible of Web Project Management
Not for the newbie producer, but a wealth of knowledge contained in this book. I have been a producer for a number of years now and when making the move to full-size websites, I needed to get more information on documentation and process. In researching I came across this book and very glad I did. From research and scoping to execution and maintenance this book covers all the pitfalls, documentation, and questions you need to plan for when building an Enterprise site. A great book that will stay in my library forever.
Still Cool
This is a great book. It's making my life a lot easier. It presents sound methodology if you are going to develop and build a commercial Web site. I am using it in school right now. It really defines terms in such a way that they are not just words that you toss around. By defining, describing and giving examples the terms become second nature and you actually understand in a logical fashion the integrated elements of designing and maintaining a commercial Web site.
 Boring, not up to date, and impossible to pick up...
The Web Design department of the career college I am an instructor and program coordinator at have used this text for several years now as the primary text for a web project management class. The problem with this book is that it sets the bar too high from the beginning and only applies if one finds themseleves a project manager handling huge corporate website accounts. It is impossible to scale the tone of the book down to explain the process when dealing with individuals and small businesses when the book has you only "wearing one hat" when sometimes you have to wear them all. It's also terribly boring to read, which makes it impossible to gain any understanding from it.This is an old book, in great need of an update. There are much more current and interesting books out there now that handle the same topic, and do it well. This may have been the first book of its kind, but it's certainly not the greatest.
 REALLY short on specifics
Talks WAY too much in generalities and jargon, with almost no specifics. The website for the book says they can't give more specifics about, for example, project specification documents, because of confidentiality. That's a really lame excuse for not coming up with a sample, detailed project spec.
