On the bright side, the text is well written, in American English and neatly organized, without any misspellings or errors. Its style is formal and actually contains all there is to know, in order to sit for the project management institute examinations. Its scope is by far more general than the compTIA Project + exam guide, which focuses mainly on IT projects. The forth edition is revised and now includes new additions, such as requirements gathering.On the dark side, some of the paragraphs can be so long that studying it, might become a drudgery. Moreover, there are no questions and answers, exercises or problems for the reader to solve. in order to reinforce learning.
All in all, this is the bible of the manager, full of information, but its formal structure resembles more of a reference manual, not a course book to prepare for the exam.
