A very good all-in-one book

The book deals with the PMI's PMBOK areas of focus in a very structured way. Definitely a useful tool for PMP exam. In addition the book is definite winner for any practioner of PM. A full detailed chapter on pricing and estimation .... not to mention another on management of conflicts in PM scenario. It also has a Chapter on Critical Chain Management which is very much the topic today. ALL ROUND WINNER.

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!!

EXCELLENT REFERENCE TOOL, BUT VERY DRY READING

Okay, this book is long, and very dry reading material. Most individuals I've talked to buy it exclusively for the halo factor - having this book on their shelf makes them look like they understand the academics of project management.

I would never recommending reading the entire book, but it is an invaluable reference - the bible/koran/gita for project management in my view.

IF YOU'RE PREPARING FOR THE PMP EXAM.
I read the following chapters through at least once each which helped my comprehension of the subject matter immensely:
- Organizational Structures
- Management Functions
- Conflicts
- Quality
- Procurement
