[Daniel Soto · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book stands as a comprehensive reference for project management, offering detailed coverage of principles, processes, and techniques that span from planning and organizing to execution and evaluation. It is particularly strong in presenting structured methodologies and frameworks that provide a solid foundation for professionals seeking to improve consistency and control in their projects. The depth of information and breadth of topics make it a valuable resource for both students and practitioners. However, its academic tone and dense style may feel overwhelming to readers looking for a more accessible, hands-on guide, and some of the material reflects a traditional approach rather than modern agile practices.
