Book Review Program

The objectives/activities of this initiative are.

  • Read/Review books related to Project Management and publish the review/summary on our website. This gives an opportunity for Members to publish these reviews as well as other members to get a quick insight into the ideas presented in those books without reading the entire book. Our website pages are part of Search Engines and your published article will appear in Google or Yahoo search.
  • A forum to borrow/exchange books.
  • A forum to give away used books to new members or members who are new to the project management profession.
  • The Book Club members could meet once in a month or once in two months to review progress and exchange ideas.
  • Check out the current Book Club Committee.

Do you have any comments on the books reviews? Drop a note in our discussion forum or contact the Book Review Director.

Please note that PMI offers free e-books and reference resources. To learn more, go to the PMI web site, click on the Resources tab and select eReads and Reference.
