 Not enough to pass the Project+ exam October 28, 2008
This book has a lot of great content. If grading on content alone, I'd give it a 4 out of 5. It would have been better if the book was better organized: begin with beginning stage of project and cary on through to the end.
If grading on whether it helped me pass the Comptia Project+ exam, I'd give it a 2 out of 5.
Perhaps back in 2005 when this book became public, the exam was similar to the book. Now it is not. The book only covers a 1/2 of the material.
I passed the exam only because I read the above book in conjunction with reading other books such as: Rita's PMP exam prep.

This is a great book. Not only it has broadened my knowledge about project management, but the exercises and quizzes contained will for sure help me get my CompTIA Project+ certification.
I'm at chapter 5 and things are getting interesting. One thing to note is the informal way the author presents issues. Contrary to some other certification books I have read, that had a fixed, formal approach, this book is like talking to a good friend.

This book is the ideal one to people that have to understand the principles of project management, but with focus in IT. Even though it can not give you a complete overview of project management principles (for this, you have to use PMBOK, from PMI), here you can find all the information necessary to manage IT projects.
Where Are the Files? March 27, 2007
I am currently on Chapter 8 of this twelve chapter book. So far, it's a clearly written review of IT Project Management with usefull apendices for connecting the subject matter to Comp TIA Project+ certification. The bad news is the publishers and author did not review the enclosed CD to assure that all of the files the author refers to are on the CD. So far, I have found four missing files, two of them are needed for completing review exercises at the end of chapters. I searched both McGraw Hill/Osborne and Joseph Philip's websites for the missing files, but could not find them.
The text itself is a good selection for anyone studying for the Project+ certificate, but I cannot give an above average rating to a project management product that does not deliver all promised deliverables.

Ce livre est ideal pour l'apprentissage de la gestion de projet. Il aborde d'une facon proche de la pratique et neanmoins avec une bonne base theorique l'art de jongler entre temps, finances resources humaines.
Ai particulierement apprecie le chapitre "completing the project" tres souvent neglige ou bacle dans le monde reel.
Personnellement (et a ma propre surprise!), les 2 premiers chapitres (Starting & Researching the Project) m'ont etes les plus informatifs.
