Great information...thanks! by KB
Just great. Understandable. Complete. Each edition gets better--although I still like the humor in the 2nd edition better. Great teaching tool and great for all general project managers, which is almost everyone in business.

Perfect for college term paper by Brandi Bridges
I bought this book for my college term paper in project management, and it was very useful. Everything is explained in simple terms - as the title says: An Idiot's Guide...

I wouldn't recommend this book, if you are looking for something with depth. This one is pretty superficial, but it grazes all the basics and then some.

Excellent for beginners by Middle-Aged Professor
The previous reviewer is being grossly unfair. The entire premise of the "Idiot's Guide" series is basic information for the beginner. To fault the book for repeating information found in business education classes is missing the point. For those who do not have a business education but find themselves leading a project -- the PTA fundraiser, the Boy Scout jamboree, or even their daughter's wedding -- the book presents a wealth of useful information.
