This Ninth Edition of the industry-leading project management “bible” applies its streamlined approach to new, authoritative coverage aligned with the Project Management Institute’s Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMI’s PMBOK), the new mandatory source of training for the Project Management Professional (PMP) Certification Exam. Written by one of the best-known authorities on the subject, this extraordinary edition gives a profound understanding of project management.

Not very good - This book is quite bad. You can tell it is the ninth edition because the material does not flow or build upon itself, it contradicts itself from section to section, and fails to use the same terminology from one section to the next. The questions at the end of the chapters often have nothing to do with the content in the chapter and sometimes even refer to non-existent figures or charts, which further leads me to believe that this book suffers from bad editing. Finally, there are literally thousands upon thousands of bullet points in this book (it reminds me of one big boring PowerPoint presentation), so it is really tedius to read. In fact this book put me to sleep more often than not, so if you suffer from insomnia, this might be just what you need.

Wordy and academic - This wordy book (1040 pages!) is filled with many unnecessary material. You have to be tortured with pages and pages (poor trees) just to get a few ideas, which makes it boring reading. I am reminded of Economics 101 texts of similar genre where each edition gets thicker and worse by assuming readers know less and less. It is not for intelligent readers.

Great Book - This book is a great, comprehensive read, very useful to any project management student or professional.

A detailed and valuable treatment of planning, pricing and estimating, and cost control - The coverage of planning, costing, and cost control was detailed and careful. Use of case studies in construction, manufactoring, and service sectors added perspective, and suggested new possibilities that would not be as obvious from study of one industry alone.The definition and evaluation of what makes a project a success was identified, but the identifications were in many different sections of the book. The information was there, but was not presented as a persistent unified theme that was easy to follow.The early sections on business organization and structure was a little elementary for those with ten of more years experience. And, these sections did not drill down on the organizational differences specific to project management.A valuable book on most project management subjects.
