Downside
Surprisingly, given our previous book reviews, we found very little that we could
criticize. If anything, criticism would have to do with the book's audience. The book
is titled "Lessons in Project Management" and adds on the cover: "Teaches
important project management lessons to help resolve real-world project situations
you may come across." To be fair, however, the lessons described are those that
would be encountered in a large, or perhaps even a not-so-large, information-systems/information-technology
corporate environment. The authors are, after all, both from this project management
domain.
Consequently, it is unlikely that those from other domains, such as engineering and construction, will be likely to empathize with the stories, even though in principle the lessons are just as relevant.
