I needed it for a masters level class and I Aced the class, so best not to crack on the text book I'd think. It's a bit more readable than most text books and I've utilized some the concepts since. So I'd recommend it in that respect. As for just an informative read, it'd be a little tough to wade through.

Just as promised!

The book is well written, I was able to grasp the concept. I also used the book for a college course that I have with the author. Good read if you are interested in Project Management.

I'm currently taking the course to which this book is used as the main reading material, and I find it very interesting, and straight-to-the-point. The author's succinct way of pinpoint the major pitfalls and what the project managers need to do to circumvent them suits me well. Most students who undertaking MBA don't have any basic knowledge about PM, and this book serves as the first step to gain some useful insights of what a project is and all the basic tools that a new project manager needs to know. I highly recommend this book.

Required reading for a Project Management Master's class. Gets the job done, but is slightly outdated and lacks some of the current "lingo".
