Reviews
- Real Project Management is not 'shelf-ware', it is 'now-ware' -- a book which should be read NOW! Peter Taylor has captured perfectly the current mood and reality of the project and programme profession, and translated it into a fast-moving read which every project manager, from 'senior' to generation Y, should read. If you work in the project field or need to work with someone who is, read this book.
