It has nine chapters and 274 pages of A4+ format, which is equal to around 600 pages of regular printing format. Each chapter expands upon PMBOK© (knowledge areas) and provides additional examples for practical and theoretical aspects of "hands on project management." It provides actual examples; tested techniques, tools, and methodologies; and raises and answers many frequently asked questions.
Every chapter has a number of diagrams, documents, tables, and graphs that help a reader to understand subjects, recommended tools and techniques and utilize them.

Some of the document samples are:
