I've read several project management books and while most are the same fundamentally. this HOW TO MANAGE PROJECTS was actually very insightful. It covered a wide range of topics, and while not overly detailed, it provided a great overview of very helpful topics. I would recommend this book to anyone who is just starting out in project management or simply wants a brush up on the basics.

Honest and in-depth advice for reaching your full potential. This advice is presented in easy to follow language that can be broken up and applied in pieces at a time.

How to Manage Projects by Paul J. Fielding is a wonderful book to delve into the hard questions and understanding that a project really isn't just one thing, or even a few things, that come together to provide the final product. It is a multitude of things.
This is honestly a great thing to read if you currently manage projects - we all get stuck trying to figure out how to bring everything together - or really as a student (college age might be more useful) and you are looking at going into any kind of role where you will be working with others, or really to even understand how your role can play in the big scheme of what ever the company is doing.
Well written, I think this will be easy for most anyone to follow, if they are willing to give it a shot. And, again, would be a great add on in a course.

I found this book a really easy and insightful read. A go to book for those just starting out a project or “accidentally” finding themselves as a PM.
The author talks to you on a friendly professional and informative level without any condescension and breaks down the stages of a project life cycle whilst also appreciating the reader may not pick up the book and read from cover to cover.
Definitely recommend
