Finally was able to read this book in its entirety, as a believe it to be a practical resource for Project Managers and use it in class when I teach in the topic. Some chapters are hard to read depending on the audience, but ok for graduate students. Also, needless to say, it needs revision to incorporate the latest PMBOK updates, at lest version 6.
