Bare Bones Project Management: What you can't not do Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)With many larger books, if you want to take away anything at all, you need to make a set of notes because the gems of the book are scattered across so many pages.Well this book comes as condensed notes - it's 52 pages not counting the introduction.If that's not condensed enough, there are brief summaries at the end of each of the seven chapters.

As the author mentions, this book is not for project managers leading major projects.This book is geared for people who need to do project management as part of their job, so they can get back to the rest of their job.It goes on to discuss the minimum one needs to do to increase the likelihood of success for the project.It includes areas from planning and managing the project to politics and staffing.

For those not familiar with the author, Bob Lewis is one of the most colorful technology writers around.His style is that of a casual conversation, with plenty of humor thrown in for good measure.As an example of the humor, from a couple of footnotes:
"Best" is defined as "makes the situation most convenient for the project manager."
"Worst" is defined as what always happens unless you take active steps to avoid it.

I strongly recommend this book for anyone involved with IT projects who cares to see them succeed.
