Recommendation

The ninth edition of Harold Kerzner’s substantial, substantive project-management guide offers the comprehensive charts, diagrams and graphs you would expect in a graduate-level textbook, and yet it is surprisingly readable and relevant. Considered by many to be the leading “project management bible” in the planning industry, Kerzner’s book is a tour de force. Its 1,000-plus pages, thorough case studies and well-organized chapters empower you to select the areas where you most need to focus. getAbstract recommends it highly to students of the trade, practitioners and executives who want to learn more about managing projects.

Take-Aways

  • Many CEOs and other executives lose their jobs when they fail to manage the project-management process.
  • Establish a project-management method that works for your company on an ongoing basis.
  • Use strategic planning to build the firm’s project-management capability.
