PM 101 According to the Olde Curmudgeon: An Introduction to the Basic Concepts of Modern Project Management Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you are new to the field of Project Management this book is very helpful.It draws upon the accepted practices of the PMBOK (Project Management Body of Knowledge) but is written more for those who don't want to learn directly from a text book style reading.The story follows a character named Sam and how he deals with his first exposure to project management.The flow of the book is very smooth as it takes you from basically describing what a project is, through the skill sets required to be a successful PM, and finally to the development of a Work Breakdown Structures and project planning techniques.This is a great quick read for anyone interested in project management as a profession, or who uses project management skills in their day to day jobs but don't have any guidelines.
