Better than PMBOK but fell short of a Rita Mulcahey book, August 14, 2014

This book did a great job of defining what a PgMP is. It did a fair job of delineating differences between program and project management. Lacking in contextual real-life examples, as well as tables and figures. This book was a much easier read than that Encyclopedia/Manual that is PMBOK. I gave it 4 stars because it is easy to understand and not a typical boring textbook. I definitely would give it 5 stars if it included some relatable scenarios and additional tables/figures.

Book arrived on time. PMI’s books are very hard to read. It’s like they are written to make the field look more like a ‘science”. It is a science, but the book should be comprehensible to someone other than a professor that teaches it. To learn program management, I recommend the text from the course I took at Brandeis, Program Management for Improved Business Results by Dragan Z. Milosevec, Russ J. Martinelli, and James M. Waddell, ISBN: 978-0-471-78354-1. This is a decent reference to have around, but the book I just referenced is readble and much more comprehensive.
