Full of Information
I have re-read a number of books immediately after reading them for the first time. Re-reading well-written fiction is of course a pleasure, but I usually reserve this technique for non-fiction that is hard to understand or very dense, and I may re-read immediately after the first read or months or years later.
This book is the first I have decided to re-read before I even finished it. The information presented is so full of useful knowledge that I realized I would forget most of the points while I was... more info

This is not only a great reference book for all PM's of any sophistication but it should be the Textbook for Technical Colleges and Universities for Project Management courses. I hold it in the same group as the Capers & Jones book on software engineering

excellent practical overview
I've read 10 books on PM in the last 3 years. Without a doubt this is the most practical one I've read.

I have used these maps extensively for operations staff training and brain storming for phase planning. Highly recommended reading.
