Wonderful book every mid-level manager ought to have
So I got this book for a 4000 level class on project management. It has been my favorite college class so far and that is because of this book. The material in this book is not only academically sound material to use to teach a course, but this is something that I think all managers/supervisors should read.If you are a project manager, then yes. Read it.If you are a new project manager, DEFINITLY read it.If you are a manager who works near, with, for, or above a project manager, READ IT. Just read it.It isn't that big, only like 130 pages. The material is tailored to project management, but the lessons you can learn about team dynamics, planning, executing, evaluating, its all there. In doesn't go too in depth into any one subject, but it is a wonderful place to start as a surface level PM guideline.It really ought to be called "Project Management for Dummies" but i doubt Harvard would publish something with a title so beneath their stature.

very eye opening
For business, healthcare and other disciplines, if you are trying to put together a project or even write an executive summary, this really breaks it down into manageable pieces. It's an easy read and easy to find what you need.

Basic book for PM
Even if most of the points explained might look obvious, every one involved in a project knows how important is to have a structure. This book present clearly what to do and when to do it to have a successful managed project.

Great book for every project manager.
I've read other books in the Harvard Business Essentials collection, and this one is great also. Has a lot of the same topics as PMP books do, but in a more condensed and no fluff version. Great as a reference book for quick access. Definitely will keep this one in arms reach. You may need to pick up another book though if you want more depth into the topics this one covers.

I selected this as my textbook for a graduate level Project Management course. I found it to be very concise, helpful and easy to read. I've cited it in several reports, and would recommend it to any businessperson or student seeking to learn more about project management.
