Book Reviews of Making Things Happen: Mastering Project Management (Theory in Practice (O'Reilly))
Book Review: Great for Project Managers - and Staff
Summary: 5 Stars
This gives some great insight, not only on how to do project management well but on how to manage people in general. I wish more of the managers I have worked with over the years had had this available.
If you are not a manager, but work in IT this is still worth your time. It gives a great look into just what project managers are dealing with, and how you can best help them succeed.
The concepts and advice are all things that I would want every team member to know well, with any team I was on. And it is all born out of hard work and excellent experience. This isn't a bunch of purely idealistic advice - it is grounded in reality.
