Most of the project management books on the market are basically textbooks. They are dry to
begin with and don't focus on the practical advice that most people need to run their
projects. Lessons in Project Management Second Edition does not assume that you are a project
manager building a nuclear reactor or sending a man to the moon. Instead it focuses on the
millions of people who manage normal medium-to-large projects on an ongoing basis. Each case
study in Lessons in Project Management contains an accessible easy-to-read analysis of the
challenges of real-world project management. Each problem is presented then followed by an
examination of the solution written in easy-to-understand language. The format allows you to
more easily relate to the book since it brings into play a project scenario with practical
project management lessons to be learned. You'll also recognize recurring characters who appear
in multiple stories and you'll start to develop some empathy for and interest in their
struggles.
