Project Planning, Scheduling and Control: A Hands-On Guide to Bringing Projects in on Time...

by James P. Lewis

The first edition of Project Planning, Scheduling & Control has gained widespread recognition and acclaim since its publication in 1991, and has made its mark as the first practical book on project management to come along in over 10 years. This revised edition expands and improves on the outstanding reputation of the first, and addresses recent key issues as continuous improvement and customer satisfaction. It now includes questions following each chapter, making it easier to learn and apply the principles, tools, and techniques this resource contains. Project Planning, Scheduling & Control concludes with a sample project plan that incorporates all the elements in the text. Managers will find this to be extremely valuable as a tool for tailoring a program that meets the needs of their own projects. More than just a book on project management, Project Planning, Scheduling & Control gives you the tools to make your projects a success.

Required reading for Royal Roads project management course. Overall a very helpful book. The layout of a bit strange (lots of bad clipart and awful stock photos) but the content is helpful and well thought advice for good project management. Written in a fairly relatable way (not a bunch of formal PMBOK stuff). Some chapters are better than others -- it gets a bit thin towards the end with short chapters that don't go into a lot of depth.

Reads like an annotated PowerPoint presentation. The chapters are littered with weird stock photos of people with quotes from the text.

Lewis is a great source of Project Management knowledge. The book is full of great information. I think it could be a bit thinner by eliminating the unnecessary powerpoint slides.
