review 1: The Lazy project manager is a guidebook for project managers looking for a way to make the best use of valuable project time. The overarching theme is that a lot of effort should be put in up front, followed by a period of somewhat 'lazy' time in the middle when execution is occurring and then a big push at the end to deliver the final product.[return][return]The book is filled with helpful tips for success and the author utilizes humor and wit throughout to keep the reader engaged. Considering the short length of this book, I would recommend it for those project managers looking to make the best use of their time.
review 2: I picked this up on a lark when it was available as a free download for the Kindle. I'm glad it was free - I think I'd feel cheated if ... moreI'd had to pay for it.This is a very short book about how to be more effective as a project manager. It's also fairly entertaining, at least such books go - I have no qualms with the writing.It's the content that turned me off. Pretty much everything in the book boils down to "a lot of up-front effort planning will pay off later; delegate as much as possible; don't let your job consume you". Valuable advice indeed, but hardly worth an entire book to deliver. less
