I'm only in to this book 41 pages and so far I have found missing words, typing errors, and graphs with outdated captions. One bullet point section referred to is missing all together!
They didn't bother to change the headings on the graphs that still refer to Project 2007. (Figure 1-6 refers to "Microsoft Office-Project 2007 Strategic Fit is here!")
Before you finish chapter 1 the author recommends reading another book (PMBOK) and this book actually begins to sound like a commercial for a project management style. Quote from book "(Perhaps you're getting the hint that it may pay to read PMBOK, if you haven't already.) So, on page 36 I'm told to read another book on project management? It actually refers to PMBOK 15+ times in the first chapter alone.
Example of a common mistake "as you move from on stage to another" rather than "as you move from one stage to another". This is a technical book and I needed it to be precise not a commercial or re-write over the top of an outdated project management software application.
Wish I could get my money back but it's an electronic version so don't think I can.
Yuck
