• Great for Project Managers - and Staff
  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.... more info

• Great book!
  I've read first edition of this book and Scott's other book - Myths of Innovation. Was very happy about both of them.
  So when time came to recommend good book for my manager I had no doubt. After that he was screaming everywhere how this book is :)

• Practical, useful advice on how to realistically run a project
  Scott does a great job again in the new edition of this book of providing well-organized, practically useful guidance on how to work on and run a project. Even if you're not actually in charge of a project, I'd recommend this as a book to help you understand what should be getting done on it. The three biggest areas he focuses on are how to ensure a project has proper focus and clear priorities, how to run meetings and do feature-level design, and how to handle a project as it moves from start to finish.more info

• A classic to put along other master pieces

  In these last days of vacations, I've managed to finish reading this really cool book on project management. Even though I'm not a project manager, this was one of those books I've heard lots of good things about and I can tell you now (after finishing reading it) that I wasn't disappointed with it.
  Besides being fun and easy reading, you'll find lots of great tips on this book. For instance, I'll be using some of the ideas presented on the Skills and Management parts on my work from now on.... more info
