Very slow delivery but good quality
I was worried that I was not going to get this book delivered — it took a very long time (weeks). Once I got this though, I was very happy with it. The book looks and feels brand new (I thought it was used). Overall I’m happy with this purchase.

Not bad for beginners
The book explains the PMI knowledge areas taking software project management as a reference. Unfortunately I didn’t see much of software specific discussions in the book.The book’s structure was supposed to take you starting from project initiation through planning then executing and monitoring and controlling till the closing. Again, the authors couldn’t stick to this plan as they had to jump to explain the closing of the cost KA during discussing the planning of it for no reason.I felt very much that we have 2 authors for the book, each one explains a specific topic in his own words in different places in the book, to the extent that we see 2 headlines with the same title “Controlling project costs” in different chapters, almost repeating the same ideas.The authors need to revise the structure of the book to make it a better.And if they can add more software specific problems like density of bugs ..etc , would be perfect

Good book
There are just few book about Software Project Management and this is one of those. I think it is a good book.

Almost zero software project specific PM stuff
Take the “Project Management For Dummies” book, add one or two pages about software project development techniques (Scrum, Agile, etc.) and presto, you have “Software Project Management for Dummies.”I picked this book up at the local library and within two hours I finished it. I have read many books on PM (and have the PMI PMP). This book brought nothing new to the table, and certainly nothing helpful in regards to project management of software development programs. Glad I got it from the library and did not buy it.

Just excellent. Whether you’re looking for a place to start your learning/research or just want to read some ideas from other subject matter experts, it’s a fantastic resource to have. A very valuable buy.

Doesn’t really cover what I was looking for. I am working on replacing a paper based system for a company and wanted to see how to assess current paper based system and develop it digitally, alpha and beta testing etc. not in there.
