Review
―Barbara Rosengren, Vice President, Strategic Product Development, Momenta Pharmaceuticals Inc
“I love this book and absolutely want to keep a copy on my shelf. It feels like a PMO in a box – I will be able to open it up and get my questions answered, confirm what I am thinking, and look for other ways to approach and solve problems. The writing across the board is consistently strong, the organization makes sense and it reads well – almost like a fast-paced fiction novel!”
―Kathleen Monroe, Vice President, Imaging Services, Synarc
“I found the book to be practical and timely in providing up-to-date information for project managers in this evolving area of practice. The book provides a good view of the broad landscape of current project management challenges in a quickly evolving industry. It is an excellent grounding for project managers in the biomedical industry and a highly recommended text for those who want hands-on advice from professionals that are actively engaged in the field. This book is valuable for project management practitioners as well as for senior managers who seek a better understanding of the complexities of project management in the current biomedical environment.”
―Elaine Alexander, Sr Project Manager, Global Medical Company
