"It was a great Christmas present to win this unique and invaluable project management book. It will be a great collection to my personal library so that I can always refresh on my PM skills."
"This book will be a welcomed addition to my library, and being a consultant, a great reference text to easily bring out with me to client sites."
"That is really great news. As a young researcher working on Industrial engineering and management, having got a wonderful project management handbook is giving lot of benefits. It definitely adds new knowledge and strengthens my previous knowledge in project management. At this point I would like to thank my previous lecturer(Mr. Lelisa at Addis Ababa University while I was studying my MSc.) who gave me some clue to register on PM forum and improve my project management knowledge. After I came to Europe for my research, I deeply understood project management is a backbone for any businesses and project managers must update with recent advancements and technology. In my view, organizations like PMForum are very important to enhance the knowledge of PM managers all over the world. I am sure many of my colleagues will get these opportunities by registering on PM forum and share their knowledge and learning as well. Hopefully I will prepare some articles in the future and contribute in Project Management field of expertise. I really appreciate all the stuff and those who are untiredly working in this field, organizers and sponsors who gave me this wonderful opportunity."
"Thanks a lot for your prize. This is big surprise for me and I think that this book will help me to learn more about project management as well as help me to better manage my future projects."
"That's great news! This book is a great addition to my study materials!"
