Rezensionen / Stimmen
"This book knows what it is, and what it is not; it remains true to its project scope...Novice project managers will keep it close at hand; more experienced project managers will consult it when they feel themselves becoming stuck and will look back at past projects with a sharper eye for what they might do better." --LRTS
