I like the glossy style pages, how clear things are written (lots of examples, bullet points, a logic to follow etc) and so far it has supported me to get into the mechanics of these tasks.
It is one of these types of books that alhtough you can read it at your free time, its purpose is to use it as a "consultation took" as and if needed, thus I will using in many cases in the future.
Overall well spent money for a book that wasn't that cheap but I am quite pleased with my purchase
I find that paired with good software (we have integrated software at my office that is good at handling these metrics), the book makes a useful tool. Even with something as stripped down as MS Excel (which can create wonderful reports if utilized to its full extent), this is a good reference. Realistically though this contains much information which can be researched easily online, but it is nice to have it all in one place.
I only gave this four stars, as Kerzner has a tendency to preach about trends in project management he is too removed from to really understand or justify, so as long as you can get past his attempts to beguile you into following his beliefs, this is an excellent book to have in your back pocket.
This book is a great addition for anyone who needs to learn more about the ever expanding role of a project manager.
