- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The field of project management is receiving amplified attention in recent years. Companies simply need people with skills that can transform action items of strategic planning into reality. The Project Management Institute (PMI) has even begun as a way to provide consistent education and certification. The author holds a Project Management Professional Certification (PMP) and concisely relates how those principles should inform more businesses’ practices.Project management comes down to achieving agreed-upon results on time and on budget. It also takes into account risk management and the ability to learn in case of failure. This book attempts to be a tutorial to these principles. It does not replace a PMP certification but rather teaches people who do not hold this certification (i.e., people like me – I work as a software developer) how to do the basics of project management. It can help us work with people with subject-matter expertise in project management better.In this book, Petersen, whose experience lies in managing IT projects, describes some of his life experiences while teaching foundational concepts. He also markets his company’s project-management software some, but this book is intelligible and accessible without considering purchasing a product. His words are clear, and he does not veer into ambiguity.This book does not tread a ton of new ground, but it does provide access to PMI concepts without having to incur an expense by taking one of their courses for a certificate. At best, this might represent a trial whether a professional wants further education in project management. Petersen whet my palate, and I am interested in finding ways to learn more.
