Practical, concise, very useful October 23, 2000
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I'm not fresh of Project Management, but this book helped me with a clear and simple methodology. Synthetics but clear, it wasn't annoying me with a lot of theory: it will give you simple and clear practices to manage all the phases of your project by following the Lewis' methodology. I found useful the suggestions about how to motivate the project team and evaluate them. If you are a very experienced PM, maybe you dont need this book, but if you are interested in a practical, simple and working approach, I suggest you this book.
Every one in project management should read this book January 27, 1999

Project Planning Scheduling And Control - Revised Edition James P Lewis McGraw-Hill ISBN-1-55738-869-5 If you are, or want to become a project manager or indeed do any work in connection with the management of projects then this book is essential reading matter. As the tittle implies this book is predominantly about the project planning, control and the techniques used to help achieve the management of successful projects. It does however also discuss, although in less detail, other management areas, including the management, motivation and control of people working on projects. The topic of this book is such a huge subject it is unrealistic to believe that it is possible that one book could cover, in depth, every conceivable area in relation to this subject. Indeed there are hundreds of books on the market that discuss single project management techniques in detail and as such this book does not attempt to make the reader an expert in every possible area of this subject. This book does however attempt to impart knowledge, to the reader, to a level that they are able to understand and apply the tool and methods discussed within. Because of this book can be a useful aid to both a new comer to the subject or a manager that has been working form many years. Neither type of reader will be left grappling for understanding or be left feeling that they are being treated far below their level. If a reader wishes to gain a deeper understanding of any of the topics discuss this book also contains many references and recommendations of books to read to do so. As well as explaining much of the current knowledge of this topic it aids the teaching of these ideas by making you think about the ideas that are being expressed with the aid of stories of real life situations and anecdotes By doing this James Lewis is able to display the advantages, pitfalls of these methods and the common misconceptions and misunderstandings that can make the application of these ideas a success or failure. I can only recommend that every one connected with project management reads this book and retains a copy on their desk for future reference guidance.
An outstanding "how to" book with practical guidance. August 5, 1998

I thought so much of this book that I recommend it to all new project managers in my company. Considering both the human and technical sides of project management, the book provides a great step by step approach to the subject. It is this direct applicability to the work of a project manager that makes the book so good. The Project Management Institute's Book of Knowledge (PMBOK) gives information about all aspects of project management - James Lewis's book brings this to life by showing you how to actually execute many of the processes. If I was ever to write a book about project management, which I might, it would probably look like this book, so it saves me the effort!
 Excellent, Practical, a good read October 1, 1997

The author presents practical information in an easy and readible manner. I found the book extremely useful and would recommend it for all but the most advanced project managers.
