Rating:  - leakage
prototyping, is one of the most valuable tasks in each project (if possible), for manager and customer.
in this book there is no useful topic, discussing about prototyping, its usage and advantages, even types of prototyping!!
Rating: - EXCELLENT REFERENCE TOOL, BUT VERY DRY READING

It also has a Chapter on Critical Chain Management which is very much the topic today. ALL ROUND WINNER.

Rating:  - This book is not a how to.
I had to use this book for a project management class. I can safely say that everyone taking the course dislikes this book. I could see this being used as a reference later on after one has a good foundation built in project management but as for someone looking to break in to the subject, without someone who is experienced in PMP standing over you explaining the confusing charts and graphs, this book would bore someone to the point that the rewards of project management aren't worth the torture of ...
