Project Management for the easily distracted

If you are going to read one book on project management then I would recomend Steve McConnel's Software Project Management Survival Guide. I just flicked throught again the other day and it is really fab and accessible stuff. Not like the ususal stuffy project management cobblers that you ususally have to digest. I reckon if you read and re-read his checklists whilst you are in the bowels of a project it will improve things immeasurably.

While you are at it you might as well read all his other stuff. It is equally good, infact I'd argue his books should be a prerequisite of anyone touching a keyboard.
