Not a proper ‘for dummies’ book.

I bought this to refresh the basics and scope content for some Junior PM’s I oversee - but this is not a book ‘for dummies’.
There is significant assumed knowledge, very little about project management principles, and it clearly fits the mould of PM Coaching for mid level Project Managers.
I would be harsher on the review if the content was not useful, and the presentation clear.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
