Product Description
The fourth edition of SUCCESSFUL PROJECT MANAGEMENT covers everything you need to know about working successfully in a project environment, including how to organize and manage effective project teams. Communication is also emphasized, with a focus on how to document and communicate project developments, both within and outside of the team. In-depth coverage of planning, scheduling and cost management is also provided. The authors' goal is to provide many cases that are fun and elicit interesting debates, and this edition includes new end-of-chapter cases. In addition, all new up-to-date Real World Project Management vignettes are included at the beginning and within each chapter, giving you a taste of how project management is practically applied in the workplace. Key points of each chapter are highlighted in Critical Success Factor boxes, providing an overview of the main ideas covered within the chapter. End-of-chapter materials contain questions and Internet exercises that allow you to apply the concepts covered in the chapter. Sprinkled throughout each chapter are boxed questions designed to test your comprehension of key concepts. A trial version of Microsoft Office Project 2007 is included for student use on class projects.

 A classic textbook October 11, 2008
Donald Hsu (NYC, United States)
This is the textbook that I used in teaching the MBA course in Project Management. PM concepts such as SOW, WBS, CPM, Gantt chart, RFP, were covered in details. The concept on scheduling and timeline, late start, late finish, early start, early finish was brilliant! Examples were very clear. MS Project trial version is enclosed with the book. On the other hand, you can download from MS website, free for 30 days.
The only drawback of this book is heavily on engineering projects.
There was no financial, marketing, international or E-commerce project management. As the professor, I had to add my real-life experience to make it more interesting.

I ordered this product as I saw Successful Project Management (with Microsoft Project 2003, 120 Day Version and InfoTrac ) but when the product delivered. there was no CD of Microsoft project, only a enclosed note on product description that " There no CD included' ,and this CD is required for my course.
I felt like being cheated, this a bad seller, do not buy from them
Just right! November 6, 2007

I have about a decade of PM experience and I decided to finally get a formal education in Project Management. This is the textbook for one of the core graduate-level courses.
The book is organized, well written, and replete with appropriate illustrations and real-world anecdotes. In addition, the case studies at the end of every chapter are very realistic.
I entitled this review, "Just right!" because it is neither too elementary nor too complex for a student learning Project Management for the first time.
 Could be better March 27, 2007

This was an assigned text book for a class and even my professor barely used it. It seems to be written from a limited point of view for project management, such as assuming that all project managers interact with customers or that all project managers write proposals. It does, however, go over key subjects from a high level...but not very in depth at all. I hoped for a better textbook for my Proj Management Systems class.
