Review by slgiesen@aol.com for The Fast Forward MBA in Project Management (Portable Mba Series)

I’ve purchased a number of books on Project Management. They run the gamut from dry, cryptic self-congratulatory works of academic vanity to the disorganized and insultingly simplistic (including anything with the word “idiot’s” in the title).This is the first book I’ve read that I would consider appropriate for both seasoned PM’s and those new to the discipline. The format is great. For someone new to Project Management it has a logical, step by step flow backed up with relevant visuals and great case studies. For the more seasoned PM it is a treasure trove of problem-solving techniques, examples and formulas. It’s not a book you’ll be willing to loan to your friends (my copy looks to become one of the more “dog-eared” in my collection).I run a small company but many of my clients are quite large (the companies, not the… nevermind). The concepts in “The Fast Forward MBA in Project Management” are adaptable to any size business and any size project; the case studies range from the development of the Boeing 767-400 to how Seattle’s Safeco Field keeps their grass green. If the rest of “The Fast Forward MBA” series are as strong and results-oriented as this book, I may end up getting the collection.

Verzuh’s book is at the top of its class. We just recently concluded a Project Management Seminar here in Barbados and this was the text used throughout the seminar. In addition, it’s one of the standard texts on our Project Management Professional Diploma Program.What most heady and highly theoretical writers on project management tend to do in over 500 pages, Verzuh achieved in 300 pages. He was able to demystify Project Management and present it in such a way that everyone out there with an interest in the subject area could follow. It would therefore be totally incongruous to review this book in academic jargon. By the same token, it perfectly compliments some of the more abstract academic texts that are out there.We particularly found the chapter on the Work Breakdown Structure to be very useful since most amateurs will probably just buy a software package and command it intuitively without fully understanding the logic and problem solving behind the it. Verzuh’s text will definitely help you to better understand the logic behind the software.The text is highly recommended and our students love it.Andre Barrow & Ian WalcottGrey’s Consulting Inc. greysconsulting@sunbeach.net

I teach Project Management to Fortune 100 companies and I’m a principal in an internet based project management enterprise, ‘ProjectOasis.com’. I tell my students: ‘If you want 1 book that covers it all in a way you can quickly access and put to practical use then get Eric’s book. The material in the book is well proven and can be applied in all industries and on all projects.’I've seen this book stolen from conference rooms! I recommend you buy your copy… from Amazon of course.

While my favorite text on project management is Visualizing Project Management, this handly treasure chest of PM knowledge and techniques is my constant companion. It is much more than a quick reference quide – it contains a lot of information that I haven’t stumbled across in any other project management book, such as metrics, estimating techniques and sound advice on a number of PM topics that are presented concisely. In other words, this book has a lot of meat and no fluff.If you are starting out as a project manager I recommend Visualizing Project Management as your first book. However, if you are a practicing and experienced project manager this is “must-have”. And the price is right! When was the last time you found a decent book on project management (or any other technical or business subject) priced below $15.00? Price aside, the value of this book is the content and the fact that it covers project management the way it should be covered: work breakdown structures, risk management, earned value and other controls. I strongly recommend this book.

I work for a major airline in NY and I am presently involved in the certification program to become a Project Manager. I am studying with the PMBOK Group and have just completed the Project Management Module of courses including the simulation exam. I have purchased several books on the subject of Project Managment however I have found the: Fast Forward MBA in Project Management to be the most useful. Each chapter is broken down into key areas which can adapt to any skill level of a Project Manager. The one chapter which was especially informative and helpful to me was in regards to the: Work Breakdown Structure (Chapter 6). Once a new student understands the concept of the WBS you have a strong foundation for what Project Management stands for. I consistently reference this book as I continue my studies and learn each new area of Project Management. This is a definite MUST HAVE book for a Project Manager’s library.
