Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great reference book -- I look up examples and methods regularly.I have been managing software development for several years and this is the first real project management book I have found that isn't full of sky-high theories.There are many down-to-earth ideas that I have implemented successfully.Risk Analysis (chapter 2) is a must, and Organizational Excellence (Chapter 10) should be read by every software organization (especially the opening anecdote). I really like the common sense epilogue -- If you don't do anything else do this.A classic.
