A guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK guide)

The Project Team for this edition as well as the volunteers did a splendid job again!This, 5th edition is more readable from previous ones and more complete. It is aligned with the ISO 21500 Standard for Project Management and also aligned with other PMI's standards like the Standard for Program Management 3rd ed. and the Standard for Portfolio Management 3rd ed.A new chapter / Knowledge area has been created "Project Stakeholder Management" by splitting the "Project Communication Management" chapter of the previous edition and adding emphasis on "Stakeholder engagement". The processes now are increased to 47 from 42 of the previous edition. However the naming is much more consistent and easy to remember. So, even if the number is higher the complexity is reduced.All the chapters of the previous edition (4th) have been improved and seem more complete and readable.Since this book is the essential read for the PMP and CAPM certifications, it is important to note that this edition covers more useful information for the exam - previously found mostly on exam preparation books. So the readers of this edition get a more complete set of tools and approaches.Even if you are not planning to be certified this is an extremely useful book - guide for practicing Project Managers and managers, since it covers practically all the aspects of the actions and skills for someone to successfully transform an idea into reality.

Amazing read! Couldn't put it down. Arrived on time and in excellent condition.Will definitely employ principles and theories to major publically funded projects on Arrakis and elsewhere in the UK.

I saved on the full book cost by about £20. However the print quality is poor. One can see the text on the other side of the page. However the book is very useful for quick reference.

This item was listed as 'new' and when received the pages and binding were crisp and perfect. I've not yet had a chance to read through it and therefore cannot comment on the value of the content, but insofar as the service provided by the seller it was top notch. Customer Service was available via email and responded quickly. The information they offered was helpful and friendly. I would definitely recommend!

This book sets the standards of the project management, showing the best practices. The PMI is an institute of reference in this area, and project managers, around the world, share their knowledge to complete the PMBook. That is why, is a book to consult in every phase of a project. I would recommend this book to everyone interested in project management, to clarify his/her knowledge, and be able to complete a project with success.

This book is tough going. It’s written in quite a technical style with constant references to other sections, not very good diagrams and it is a big big book. Sadly you need to learn it all to pass the PMP exam. It’s still useful as the sixth edition is not that different

Official PMP book of knowledge, fully comprehensive of all the information needed to pass PMI exam and learn how to be a pm as per PMP standards

Used this to prepare for CAPM - Certified Associate in Project Management. This is the main resource i used and learned a lot.

Good them for good price

I purchased the kindle edition of this book ONLY because the ebook was voice readable. I found that none of the ebook readers are able to read this book. This is not what the product description says.

E' la versione vecchia (adesso c'è la sesta) del classico PMBOK, comunque ottimo per una introduzione all'argomento del Project Management. La fattura della carta è buona, così come la rilegatura. Le pagine grigie (anti-contraffazione) non sono fastidiose.

El libro se lee genial pero consideró que debería ser mucho más barato que la versión en papel. Me lo pensé bastante por este motivo pero realmente es muy cómodo poder llevarlo en el kindle.

Concentra conocimientos de mucho valor para la práctica de la administración de proyectos. Me gustaron mucho los diagramas de procesos.
