(Ebook) Project Management For Dummies by Stanley E. Portny ISBN 9780470049235, 0470049235

This book is for a beginner, and I was happy to see it included ES, EF, LS, LF, Critical Path, Gannt charts, etc. and even got into the Earned Value concept and some formulas. This seems to have the right amount of detail for the beginner PM, with the exception that it did not even mention the 42 processes or 9 knowledge areas, which I think was unfortunate. I can understand not getting into the inputs, tools and techniques, and outputs, but they should have been mentioned. I read it just as a review, but it was just too basic for someone already praticing PM...but then again, I should have known that since it's a "Dummies" book. If you already know PM, pass this one up, and go for a more in-depth book. There are some good one's out here. If you are just starting out, this may be just right for you.
