Why you should read Practical Project Management

Anyone who’s ever tried his or her hand at project management knows that there is no single secret that guarantees success. In reality, effective project management is the result of nuts-and-bolts work in planning, organization and oversight. Smart readers will therefore bypass the scores of books promising the "10 Secrets to Project Management Success" and turn instead to Harvey A. Levine’s comprehensive and slightly complex book. getAbstract recommends this book to corporate managers and leaders as a clear guide to project management.
