DESCRIPTION:
A terrible read -- look elsewhere for program & portfolio knowledge D. Dancker This is not only one of the worst project management books I have ever read, it is one of the worst books I have ever read, period. It is a terrible choice for teachers, and a terrible choice for students looking to learn about program and portfolio management.The book lacks a complete sense of structure and organization, and is written in such a highly academic tone that it isn't accessible or useful to your typical project manager or student. Strong theses are never really presented (for the book or for the individual chapters), and when they are, the discussion dwindles away on . Good Text Book BUT Mazen AlQarawi I bought this book as one of the textbooks required for a master degree course. I read some review that has bad impression about it but this was due to the way the authors has written the book as an academic journal where they reference everything to their original writer and list the list of references at the end of each chapter.

The book is a bot boarding but when you read it with additional journals or with another textbook, it will give better under. "I barely used it" according to EmilyTBlitz.
