| Excellent resource for every IT Project Manager |
I have purchased the fourth and fifth editions of this book and find them as great resources both for academic studies and as tools to be used in the real world for project management through every stage of the project development lifecycle. The examples in the text are real scenarios and help to provide a good understanding on the issues with PM and how to overcome many challenges with Project Management within an organization. |

| First and best IT PM book |
Information Technology Project Management is the first book any technical project manager should read. It does a great job of laying out the challenges and tools of technical PM. It provides practical common sense examples as well as good historical anecdotes. This book has no fluff and no superfluous chapters, it's all meat. Even if you have been doing PM for years, this book has something to offer.
Reading and understanding this book cover to cover will get you half way to your PMP certification. You will need to get a PMBOK or a PMP study guide and spend another 2 - 3 months of study. But this book is absolutely the right place to start. |

| Great reference for IT, MIS, and PM Students |
I had used this book for an Information Technology class during my undergraduate degree for Management Information Systems and it was a blessing! The detail touched on with Microsoft Project and how to use it was very easy for me to understand as I've never used MS Project before. It was actually the reading of this book that helped me understand more about project management to where I could set my career values. I still own the book and have found it's a resource to review it from time to time during my MBA studies. As someone who is an IT student and project management career person it is important to obtain and keep these types of resources available as they will assist when determining your future goals. |

| Information Technology Project Management |
I am pursuing my Masters in Information Systems and have read many technical books over the last two to three years but this one is refreshing in that it is easy to understand and is not boring, making for an easy read. I like that all the key definitions from the chapter are at the end including a brief summary of the chapter. I also like that it discusses relevant topics of today such as Six Sigma. All in all, I give this book 4 stars. |
