Great book

This book offers a very rare collection of real world experience based solutions from seasoned pros in project management. These guys have been through a lot, and have much to offer from their hard won lessons. The variety of topics and solutions offers is invaluable source for anyone dealing with the challenges that come along with managing projects. Whether you are just getting started in "the accidental profession", or you've been doing it for years, there are insights in this collection you won't find anywhere else.

What has impressed me most about this book is David's focus on real-life, practical situations that real project managers face every day. This book would make a great text for a hands-on class in project management, particularly for experienced business people. It is not your typical "mom and apple pie" advice that you get from academic textbooks.Full disclosure: I did contribute to this book. No one has paid me to post this review.

To attain PMP certification, one must understand the constructs and theory of the PMBOK. To attain proficiency running real projects, one must understand how to translate the theories and constructs of the PMBOK into the realities encountered when executing a project. Mr. Garret has compiled a body of the common problems that occur in projects using the expertise and input from recognized PM practitioners. The book is a presentation of the common problems encountered in projects, and viable solutions grouped by logical categories for quick reference. This is an excellent resource for new and seasoned PM s!

I don't think it matters if you are an experienced project manager or a novice, spending time with this book will give you insight into managing projects, leading teams and getting things done. Different perspectives from a variety of project leaders gives readers a look into what some of the brightest minds in project management suggest leads to project success. Well worth the read.

Every Project Manager and PM wannabe can benefit from reading Project Pain Reliever. Real advice, Real Scenarios, from the pros who live and breathe project management.There is a wealth of usable wisdom here.Not only a great read but a timeless reference book too.

OK - perhaps "every occasion" is too strong, but this book has such a variety and depth that it's hard to think of situations it doesn't cover.I had the good fortune to be able to contribute to this book and I am amazed at how much it covers and the details in each article. A real useful guide, an easy read, and very accessible for the person who needs quick information.Great job!Mike Donoghue
