Effective Project Management: Traditional, Agile, Extreme, Hybrid

A simple but effective framework for managing projects of all types. There is detailed 'how to' for all areas within the framework. This is my bible on project management.

Great book on Project Management!

"Effective Project Management: Traditional, Agile, Extreme, Hybrid" by Robert K. Wysocki is well laid out with good organization so it makes it easy to read and follow. The author does assume a certain amount of knowledge but at the same time, he walks the reader through the important process points. He describes and works through the various project management types featured. I'm glad that it focuses on 4 types because I've read some project management books that cast too wide a net and it just ends up jumbled. This book keeps it to the four (traditional, agile, extreme, and hybrid) which makes the focus for the reader much easier. I keep this book at my work desk and have been referring to it a lot for ideas and clarity. It has been well worth the time to read and re-read.

Arrived as promised

As the subject matter expert in a number of areas in my workplace, I've been drafted into the role of project manager multiple times. I've been stumbling through things (with lots of nodding when people bring up fancy technical PM terms), but I want to be better prepared to successfully lead my team. This book is definitely more of a textbook, but as someone who just finished grad school, I'm a-ok with textbooks. This book provides an excellent overview of project management from start to finish. From defining what is a project, to the various methodologies, you'll be on better ground after finishing this book. I feel equipped with the tools provided to really wow on my next project! Plus, I finally picked up all that fancy PM lingo!

Great starter course, or, refresher, helps you understand how to define a project, building the fundamentals around the scope of the project, building collaborative teams, planning, launching and closure of the project. It's the full landscape from A to Z. I found this educational and informative, it did provide me with additional tools to transform my professional life. Certainly recommend this for any leader - it's highly helpful and guides you to support your operations and teams.

Most of the contents were repeated way to many times. I think this book could be a lot shorter If the author of this book or anyone who is related to book production. Please publish edition b with lean contents. I would buy that also.

To be honest, this book is underwhelming... This textbook claims to be easily readable and digestible, but the reality is that it isn't much better than the PMBOK guide. It's written HEAVILY from an IT/Software management perspective with tips and tricks that are simply not applicable outside of that industry. In addition, the book is vastly outdated, referring to "videoconferencing" as an emerging technology, relying heavily on in-person projects and co-location of teams. A lot of the principles of communication and management in this book are really defunct. The "war room" strategy is to book a conference room for the entire duration of the project, utilize white-boards and post-it notes for planning and execution and co-locate core team members in that war room. In my 6 years as a PM I have never managed, witnessed or even heard of a project that is managed 100% in person.

was not impressed with the text book content

Excellent

In the description and throughout the book it discusses slides and extra content that is available to readers. However, the website does not exist in this is highly disappointing and misleading.
