 Strategic guide to strengthening your company's project-management capability August 28, 2008
The ninth edition of Harold Kerzner's substantial, substantive project-management guide offers the comprehensive charts, diagrams and graphs you would expect in a graduate-level textbook, and yet it is surprisingly readable and relevant. Considered by many to be the leading "project management bible" in the planning industry, Kerzner's book is a tour de force. Its 1,000-plus pages, thorough case studies and well-organized chapters empower you to select the areas where you most need to focus. getAbstract recommends it highly to students of the trade, practitioners and executives who want to learn more about managing projects.
 Not very good July 10, 2008

This book is quite bad. You can tell it is the ninth edition because the material does not flow or build upon itself, it contradicts itself from section to section, and fails to use the same terminology from one section to the next. The questions at the end of the chapters often have nothing to do with the content in the chapter and sometimes even refer to non-existent figures or charts, which further leads me to believe that this book suffers from bad editing. Finally, there are literally thousands upon thousands of bullet points in this book (it reminds me of one big boring PowerPoint presentation), so it is really tedius to read. In fact this book put me to sleep more often than not, so if you suffer from insomnia, this might be just what you need.
 Wordy and academic June 28, 2008

This wordy book (1040 pages!) is filled with many unnecessary material. You have to be tortured with pages and pages (poor trees) just to get a few ideas, which makes it boring reading. I am reminded of Economics 101 texts of similar genre where each edition gets thicker and worse by assuming readers know less and less. It is not for intelligent readers.

Sin mas vueltas, el Profesor Kerzner hace de la Administracion de Proyectos en esta bibliografia , todo lo que se puede hacer para : aquel que no entienda la Aministracion de Proyectos : Entienda !!!!!!!!!! Aquel que quiera profundizar sus conocimientos , encuentre los caminos, y como si fuera poco aquel que quiera certificar ante el PMI , tenga todos los elemntos y herramientas a su alcance.
Un libro inolvidable, para tenerlo entre esos 5 libros que usted siempre consulta en su profesion. Ahora si se dedica a la Administracion de Proyectos de esos 5 libros , le aconsejo que primero consulte a este.
