More Project Management Resources. In response to my 9 May entry a few readers recommended the following books, none of which I've read:

• Project Management Institute Practice Standard for Work Breakdown Structures.
• Modern Project Management: Successfully Integrating Project Management Knowledge Areas and Processes (this one received rave reviews on Amazon - I just ordered a copy).

I have read and reviewed the following books, which I think are important:

• Earned Value Project Management - See my March 18, 2001 review on Amazon
• Web Project Management: Delivering Successful Commercial Web Sites - See my March 28, 2001 on Amazon
• Fundamentals of Project Performance Measurement - See my July 6, 2001 review on Amazon

Late Note 09:06 12 May. For work breakdown structures, as well as general functional decomposition an inexpensive product called B-Liner will simplify what is an onerous task. The web site for this application also has interesting tutorials about work breakdown structure development and project scheduling, as well as how B-Liner can be effectively used.
