Hi all,

My criticism of the book "Managing an IT project" by Olivier Englender and Sophie Fernandes, has just been published on the website Developpez.com , my critique:

"Less than 300 pages to explain how an IT project manager, this is the difficult mission of this book to the title of surprising imagination" Managing an IT project. " Difficult as the stages of a project are numerous, their different approaches, and it certainly will not be the major topic of discussion at the beach this summer.

"Managing an IT project" is structured very simply: it is a scan of all phases and information relating to the management of an IT project. The book thus explains the draft, has a few cycles of life (you choose the one that best suits the type of exercise), information resources and contractual monitoring, costings (expense, risk, ROI, etc..), policy aspects, safety, law, quality, software integration, well known in our beloved IT companies, etc.. I think I found this book in all the phases that I have experienced in projects where I intervened, explained very simply but very precisely (note this is not exhaustive, and it is not the goal, can for example find entire works on the XP method), I think the balance is perfect. The illustrations are clear, the content never boring to read, airy layout, and some good ideas (as inserts "Council" and "Good to Know") embellish the wire teaching. I also discovered more detail what the Scrum methodology, an example of the many details of the book that filled my gaps.

This book is therefore intended for budding project managers, to experienced who wish to update, developers who want to better understand their hierarchy. Again, "Managing an IT project" is extremely accessible, content-oriented "practical" allow direct application to the reality of work (ROI formulas, tracking tables, methods of estimating costs, etc..).

You'll understand, I loved this book and I put so full marks for what I think is the best way to understand how to manage a project from A to Z. Thank you very much to the authors for this little UFO! "

Happy reading!
