Effective Project Management: Traditional, Adaptive, Extreme, Fourth Edition
Read 14 of the 18 chapters as part of the Software Project Management course (SEIS625) at the Graduate Programs in Software, University of St. Thomas, St. Paul.
The text provided a good introduction about the Project Management process from the perspective of software development projects. The book describes the Project Management Lifecycle, consisting of the five process groups, in the context of four typical style of projects - Traditional, Agile, Extreme, and Emertxe (extreme spelled backwards). The five process groups are namely Scoping, Planning, Launching, Monitoring and Controlling, and Closing defined by the Project Management Book of Knowledge (PMBOK).
The author, Robert K. Wysocki, an experienced project manager provides many insights based on his experience and perspective through out the book - and continually keeps and steers the discussion towards a common sense approach to Project Management. Project Management, according to Dr. Bob, is organized common sense.
Definitely a good text if you are looking for an introduction to Project Management, especially from a software development perspective, and are interested in advancing to the next level in the practice and understanding of this discipline.
