Project Management for Dummies (For Dummies Series)

For those who are looking for a relatively easy, painless ramp into project management and its basics, this is a solid introduction. As with all the Dummies series, it builds bit by bit on previous knowledge, introducing concepts in new chapters for the most part. I bought this book for a new employee who wanted to get into the project management field, and she reports it to be a solid guide into the PM world, although it only covers basics. It was rated by her much higher than some on-line courses she tried, as well as a couple of competing books.As a good introduction to project management, this is recommended, but keep in mind it scratches the surface and is no replacement for practice.

Toutes les techniques majeurs de la gestion de projet sont couvertes, en terme simple et efficace. Se lit aisément

Como su nombre indica, viene explicado como para tontos. Esquematizado que facilita mucho la comprensión y muy claro. No tenía ni idea del tema y me ayudó mucho

This book covers all the basic bases and helps to give a helpful insight into Project Management as a field of interest. Unlike boring. Monotone textbooks that just blurb our facts, this book is more conversational, knter sting and has some great examples for you to engage with. Unlike other textbooks where it is easy to get distracted, this book (if you are interested in project management) will help educate you but also keep your attention.The writing within this books is of a medium level - it is not overly complicated yet at the same time it is not patronising. I am used to some quite complex books on some rather difficult subjects and worried this might be a bit simple,as I have never read a 'For Dummies' book before but I was pleasantly surprised. This book will be good for people with no experience in project management, without further education, but will also be equally suitable for people of higher education looking for a useful project management book that will enhance their understanding. This book does not just reel off facts and figures, it gives you actual real life examples that are easy to relate to and understand.Highly recommend for anyone like myself who has just embarked on a career change.

I've used this book as a general guideline for managing projects in work and in my personal life. I'm used to academic textbooks, but I think every consumer benefits from the clear language used in this book, along with the useful illustrations and anecdotal examples quoted throughout.Excellent for any beginner to project management, and I dare say, if you learned this book inside out, with a little more technical wording, you could pass the PRINCE2 assessments.
