Media Reviews
This excellent handbook provides you with all you need to make your project a success. [It] is easy to read and has many diagrams, and flow charts that support the text very well. You will find in the book standard forms for every occasion, templates for reporting and check lists for each stage. Use of these standardized documents can help the manager to spend more time on setting up the organization and defining the task. -- Paul Duffy, APM Group, formerly the trading arm of the Association for Project Management, in a Review of the First edition
