Good program management framework.

This is an easy and straightforward process to understand. I believe that following what is conveyed in this book absolutely make a difference in your organization’s performance if implemented correctly.

This book was extremely painful to attempt reading. I struggled through a bit, fell asleep, skipped to the next chapter and repeated the cycle a few times. The few things that I did absorb, I felt were very obvious to anyone who has worked within project management for even a short period of time. There are better resources available and I would not recommend this one unless you are specifically required to follow the methodology.

Warning: Extremely tedious.

Who should read it? People required to follow The Project Success Methodologies.

I purchased a copy of this book as a refresher for the "Project Success Method" training I had two years ago. It is a great methodology that really works and, best of all, it doesn't focus on how to use Microsoft Project.
