4Good enough..but  May 18, 2010
I was expecting a better design of the forms, but it is a good start for beginners.
It should include more forms in the next edition. A little bit pricey !

As a PMI member, I think this book is a good effort on trying collect project management tools.

5A Project Manager's Book of Forms  Feb 07, 2010
This is a excellent book. It is easy to use and I find it to be a very valuable tool for a project manager. The forms are simple and practical and allow for further customization were necessary.I use it in conjunction with the book Project Management Skills for Instructional DesignersProject Management Skills for Instructional Designers: A Practical Guide.

3Good guide, but not immediately usable  Feb 06, 2010
I am glad that PMI finally pulled together a companion guide to the PMBOK. The content is valid and adequate but the format and the appearance is very disappointing. Although the title of the book states "FORMS" I was expecting a more professional looking set of templates that could be modified to include a company name and logo. These are very basic forms that have no headers, footers or margins. The border around each page prohibits you from expanding a certain text box to accommodate more text without corrupting the entire page formatting.

The book shows each form with instructions inside each field to be completed; however that information is not included in the electronic copy. If you needed to assign this form to someone else to complete, it would be a challenge to complete it correctly without guidance.

Aesthetically they look like a "pen and ink" fill in the blank form from the 1970's and not like something that was created in a robust word processor such as WORD. They are a good guide for content, but not immediately usable.

3Not Bad but we expect more!!  Feb 03, 2010
It is a good start for using a standardized PMP forms. I have searched online for many forms but each organization has its own type of forms. So, the book is helpful in paving the road for new PMPs regarding documentation.

However, the explanation of each form is very vague and brief. I was expecting more descriptions and explanatiosn about the purpose of each form and each header inside the form since it is open for customization. I hope the next release will put that into consideration.
