Despite the fact that the book is aimed for HR professionals, there were only two chapters addressed to HR projects in a compressed format. Mainly, it's about what project management is and it's described in a concise, facile way giving you the full structure with some good to have tool added.
One example I really liked was about a clear and common goal of a project that each participant must know and understand. So there is the " elevator speech" test. You take each member of the project aside and ask the following question: if you were travelling by elevator between the first and second floors with our CEO and he asked what your team was working on, what would you say?

This is a good general purpose book, for someone who has to manage a project, but isn't a project manager.
