For full use, you need to request the Instructor's Manual from the publisher - Wiley. WIthout it, all of these case studies are incomplete. The book does not provide answers to questions posed. Unfortunately, after attempts to gain use for my class, I was unsuccessful (even after working with Wiley via email directly). Very disappointed. Otherwise, the case studies seemed like they could be helpful, though most are in the realm of manufacturing/construction not newer project areas of software or healthcare.

Poorly written case studies. This book is difficult to follow though its different looks at case studies. It jumps around chronologically, makes up fake scenarios, and depicts dialog between project workers and managers that are unrealistic and awkward. The author did not stick to a single style throughout the book so each case study takes at least two read throughs to understand what the hell it its talking about. I bought the book for a PM Class and everyone thinks it is a GARBAGE book. Glad I only spent $10 on it. Might be able to make use of it as packaging material when I move.
