Book Reviews of Visualizing Project Management: Models and Frameworks for Mastering Complex Systems

Book Review: Nice to have
Summary: 3 Stars

In my opinion the title does not cover the contents. The contents is by far more textual than visual. I was expecting a collection of models, process flows, graphs, templates, forms and pics with a how to... Something like 50/50 text and visuals. So it didn't meet my expectations, not by a long shot.
However, it is a little more richly illustrated than the usual textbooks on the matter and the authors use clear language to explain complex systems. Further it covers some ground not covered in PMBOK or PRINCE2. Therefor I decided to keep it.
