Harold Kerzner, official inventor of warm water, is proposing another collection of not interesting, not project management related case studies.
No reference from the source of the cases. No real topic for discussion, no issue to really solve.
Am I the only one expecting a case study to be an actual case with some food for thoughts.
You can find more food into any economic article in the newspaper.
Not the first book from Kerzner that finishes in the garbage bin. Buy definitely the last one.

I would recommend this book to anyone who needs to see the PM theories applied into real life situations, it is interesting.

[Chris Hansen · Rating 3 out of 5]

It's a decent collection of case studies but it offers no suggestions for avoiding the same pitfalls if your project has the same restrictions.
