 Good Project Management is Good Project Management
Hmm. It was interesting to read the review before this one, after reading Jessica's book. My impression of this book is that it was clearly written by someone who has been in the trenches, and managed the trenches, of both typical and demanding web-based projects over the years. Yeah, there are some references to early work and specific tools, but in general good project management is good project management. And this book outlines an approach for project management, team communication and complexity wrangling that I think is clear and pragmatic. Great book. Happy to add it to my library. I'll invariably return to it for ideas in the future.
 Very outdated
I think Collaborative Web Development was ahead of its time when it was written in 1999, but today it reads more like a relic. It also doesn't help that the writing style is rudimentary (Ms. Burdman should've considered using a ghost writer) and the book is littered with typos.

br /Maybe the book could be useful to people who have absolutely no experience in working with companies that have a web site, but there's got to be better stuff out there.

This book really doesn't tell you much of anything.
Maybe this book had some good information in it during the early 90's when all of this stuff was new but now this book doesn't offer anything to anyone. All of the technical stuff is very old and the focus is on very simple stuff like HTML page directories and images while, the team structure chapters are conflicting seem to be written by someone who doesn't really understand the development process, and the project scenarios have little to no value.
 Excellent for all Web Project Managers
I am a senior Web project manager and I am also doing my master degree in Web project management. This book is by far better than the others. The author follow a good methodology and give helpful and easy examples, she's very grounded. Recommended for junior as well as senior PM. (sorry for my poor English, I speak French!).
 good introductory treatment
Three stars is generous, but I couldn't in good conscience give it fewer. The content is good-quality, but is very "shallow." Geared exclusively toward web project teams, I expected to see some new collaborative techniques, or new spins on accepted methodology. What I got (while good) was only a very basic introduction to proper project management methodology. If you are part of, or lead, a web team, and have no experience in formal methodology, grab a copy of this book. Otherwise, look elsewhere.
