Summary: Useful for financial systems projects
Comment: This book is very helpful to knowledge workers. It is now translated into Chinese and doing well in China -- the first printing sold out quickly. It is friendly written and interesting. It concentrates on real issues on projects. These are not techniques, but people issues. Frame has good technique book called New Project Management. Managing Projects in Organizations has many examples that are realistic and apply in all industries and cultures. I find it especially useful for practioners in the financial and information technology sectors.

Rating: 5
Summary: Highly readable and on point
Comment: This book is a refreshing look at what is most important in achieving project success: people functioning in organizations. While it reviews key tools and techniques in a user-friendly fashion, its chief goal is to raise readers' awareness of the central role of people and organizations in delivering successful projects. What's more, it is an easy read, filled with practical examples of real world scenarios. It is particularly useful for knowledge workers in businesses like IT, finance, telecoms, R&D and training because it does not get bogged down in painfully detailed treatment of techniques that are marginally useful on real-world projects.

Rating: 2
Summary: Discussess only a few topics in project management
Comment: You are bound to be disappointed if you want to learn how to manage projects from this book.

This book is a very introductory and basic book that describes project management and projects, and then delves into aspects that the author considers interesting. It can best be described as an elementary introduction to the field.

I liked the "Fast Forward MBA in Project Management" much more than this book. It gives one a set of tools and a process for managing projects.
