Does not translate well into an audiobook

What would have made Project Management for Dummies better?

A downloadable guide of some of the lists that they talk about or some downloadable tools. It's not that it is a bad book. It just doesn't translate well into an audiobook. It's basically a 3.5 hour long list of things to do before your next big project. You can imagine how frustrating it is to hear a very long list being read to you while you are trying to drive. Having at least an outline in hardcopy is a must.

What three words best describe Brett Barry’s performance?

Does not match book flow!

This recording does not match the books flow, chapter breakdown, etc. I prefer to read and listen at the same time. This is not possible with this rrecording. I just wasted $7.95...

Not in line with the PMBOK

The book may be good in general but I could not listen to it because it is not in line with PMI's PMBOK.

Good to read

What did you love best about Project Management for Dummies?

The flow

Would you be willing to try another book from Stanley Portny? Why or why not?

Yes I will

What about Brett Barry’s performance did you like?

Yes

Any additional comments?

If it can have an PDF attachment with some of the info. It will help the read, and if it can use the same words in PMI it will make the connection faster

Nothing different

Not too bad, I have heard another Project management book so I didnt find anything particularly new. Not too bad for learning basics about PM

A bit clinical and not very gripping

Great information. I had a hard time staying engaged due to the delivery of the content and the semi monotone of the narrator. A good informative book, I just didn't digest much of it.

Don't buy this if you are in project management.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

This is a shallow book. Project management book can be largely bullet point treatises on the stuff you do in project management. This is barely that and certainly not a good audible book.
