Essential, 2006-02-06
As the other reviews reflect, this is an absolutely essential addition to the PMBOK. My only complaint is it should be 200 Tips. I long ago templatized the PMBOK inputs and outputs; mostly in Excel, but when it comes to refinement and implementation I refresh from this book. It's about the perfect level of cookbook - not another 'how to', but a very good condensation of essential points.

I don't have time to re-invent, and feel like my time is better spent dealing with project issues than with project management process. This gives me warm and fuzzies that I've done the process right, and if I've missed something a good quick quide on how to fix it.

A Reference Book, Not Tool Kit, 2005-09-11
This is a reference book based on PMBOK, with very concise summaries of project management processes. For example, the Project Charter is covered in two pages. It is not for novice project leaders as the book states. There are no examples or templates to show you how you can prepare your documents.

A great reference work, 2004-05-06
This is a very useful reference work which delivers exactly what it promises: every tool in the project manager's toolkit is defined concisely and precisely. It was easy to find concepts and techniques which I could apply to current projects. The ability to cross-reference related tools and subject areas is particularly helpful. Perhaps most valuable for the experienced project manager are the detailed checklists which highlight issues to be considered and tasks to be performed when applying each tool.

good practical techniques that really work, 2004-03-27
This book provides a great overview on proven techniques and approaches that really work. This is exactly what project managers are looking for after reading the PMBOK®! It shows the "how to ..." which is missing in the PMBOK®. The tools are easy to grasp, and the approach goes far beyond the pure technical and methodological stuff to the human side--which is the essential part in most projects

Quick and Concise., 2004-03-19
Excellent reference tool! Having practiced PM for over 20 years I know that, due to projects' unique elements, no project manager uses all their skills and tools all the time. This book is great to have to go to for a quick, easy to get to, no-nonsense refresher for those skills that may be a little rusty.
