The best PM Model

The project management model presented in this book is easy to apply. This book is straight-forward. I was able to adapt the model to the systems models I use in instructional design. The best part of the model is the outcomes. The model provides an easy framework to identify what deliverables/outcomes you will have after each phase. If you are studying for your PMP, use this framework to help you digest the material in PMBOK

5 Phases of Project Management

This is a good entry level book for a class. Easy to read and has great graphics. Good starting point book for project management. Would like to see them update a little bit as it is 10 years old

The most useful methodology in the field.

This book was extremely helpful in providing a framework for structuring my work group's projects. After implementing some new methods, our efficiency and productivity increased by at least 50 percent. It is easy to use and understand. Also good for training.

Excellent, covers all the bases

A well researched book with excellent templates to help put all this knowledge into place. I am currently using it to help me manage the development of a large power plant in Brazil. I highly recommend reading and following the principles outlined by Wysocki and Weiss. A valuable tool for any project manager.
