Editorial Review

By Kathleen Leary for PMI’s New Practitioner’s CoP

“This book provides a succinct guide to concepts, skills and best practices used in project management. It contains the basics covered in the PMBOK Guide…along with other techniques and practices that the author has gathered in industries he has worked in and gained from project management students…

The chapters are brief and the style is easy-to-read questions and answers. The book also is a concise and easy-to-use reference book. It provides the reader with the tools needed to improve project performance and accomplish high-quality, low-risk results right away.

I recommend Furman’s book to project management students and new practitioners, and to experienced project managers because it is well-written and covers key project management concepts, definitions and resources. The quick study, practice worksheets in the Appendix are great tools for the reader to use to test their knowledge of formulas, knowledge areas and processes for the PMP^® and other certifications.”
