Customer Reviews

Project Management

If the rest of the book is info filled as the book overview I will pass my PM exam with no problems.

Graduate Student

Solid book covering the basics of project management. Kernzers is the goal standard for graduate level PM courses. Some integration of PMBoK information, but I do not think it would be good reference for the PMP test.

Project Management: A Systems Approach to Planning, Scheduling, and Controlling

This book is well thoughtout and easy to read. The layout including the PMI PMP reference is excellent.

Great ideas, but do they work? Yes!

I have applied the information in this book to my company. My company has been reorganizing and has started using project managers. The book is a great resources (I pull it off my shelf no less than 2 times each week).The end of each chapter has a case study that reviews real world scenerios which forces readers to apply theories to real situations.
