[Marcus Goncalves · Rating 4 out of 5]

I’m evaluating this book for academic purposes. The content, overall, is good and cover all PM essentials with plenty of case studies and practice questions for the PMP exam, but difficult to read, with text not flowing well.

Provides a great basic understanding about Project Management.

[Shae · Rating 4 out of 5]

I highly recommend reading this book if you plan to the PMP Certification test. The only reason I did not rate fives stars because I felt like the author's opinions were displayed on certain topics instead of remaining impartial on subject matters.

I used both formats for the class (hardcover and kindle ebook).
