Intro to PM

If you don’t know what Project Management is, its a good intro. I’ve been considering getting on the pm cert path. This book reminded me of all the people management PM’s juggle, as well. Good start point if you are thinking about PM as a career as it highlights the many responsibilities in a PM role.

awkward listening

This book came highly recommended to me, but it was not helpful for me overall. The English is awkward and hard to listen to on my 90 minute commute. I do not recommend this book.

dont waste your time

If I were 5 years old and had no exposure to a business setting this might have been a decent high level overview - horrible example and the reader was awful - wish I had my credit and time back
