1: Great resource!
This book is a great resource whether you are an experienced or new to project management. The online documents offered by the author was a tremendous help to me in managing my project. I plan to treasure this book for years!

2: The Fast Forward MBA third edition
I had purchased this textbook for a on-line class in Project Management.
The textbook The Fast Forward MBA turned out to be a great investment for me. The textbook is easy to read and understand concepts. It provide great detail of follow along illustration that help with the read the text. I would strongly recommend the textbook for anyone but it is a must for beginniners interesting in project management and techniques used to manage the project life from begiingn to end, helpful in understanding how to initiate a project, and great clear definition of terminology.

3: An excellent Project Management Book
This is a very good project management book. Easy to understand and substantial information. There are some PMP exam prep questions at the end of each chapter. However, you should know that the book's material is not quite compatible with the PMBOK Guide by PMI. So, don't use it for the PMP exam prep. Otherwise, to learn general project management, this is a very good book. Recommended.

4: Extensive introduction to PM
As a very experienced project and program manager, I've been asked to help introduce MBA students to project management. Of all the PMs books out there, a number of which I own, this one is the best I've found to help understand the complexities and challenges of project management. The subject is complex and requires lots of studying and practice but Mr. Verzuh has done an excellent job of capturing the essence of it.

5: This 3rd Edition of Fast Forward MBA in Project Management rocks!
As both a practicing & certified Project Management Professional (PMP), who is also a adjunct professor that teaches project management at both the graduate & undergraduate levels, this is one of the most useful project management books that I have used in the classroom. Unlike many of the project management texts that I have used that spend many pages on project management theory, Eric's book gets to the point of how to practically & successfully manage projects. What I like in particular is that he approaches project management from a "How to get it done right" approach. The many fully customizable templates and forms included as part of the purchase price of the book are absolutely invaluable.
Previously I had successfully used the 2nd Edition of Eric's book in the classroom. Given that success, I am planning on using the new edition. Although understanding some of the underlying project management theory is important, many of the books I have used offer an overly theoretical and statistical approach that does not effectively explain the essential 'soft' project management skills well. In my view, Eric addresses project management theory at the right level, while offering a number of exceptionally useful project management ideas and tools.
Lastly, in preparation for an upcoming class, I did a page-by-page scan of the new edition. Lots of truly substantive changes. Unfortunately, in the case of many of the books that I have used in the classroom, the issue of a new edition means little more than a change of the copyright date.
