The Art of Project Management, one of O'Reilly's "Theory in Practice" books details, as you may have guessed, Project Management. Berkun, a former Microsoft PM goes chapter by chapter on what makes a good project, no matter the size or style. He shares enough war stories and mixes it with enough ample doses of humor to keep the book completely readable.

While I am not a project manager, nor a manager, nor a project, I found the lessons in this book to be very applicable to my normal activities with respect to software engineering, both at work, and at home.

If you're going to be doing software engineering, especially if you're going to be leading others, then you may find a ton of use in this book. Berkun himself admits that you only have to read the chapters that are important to what you're doing (I read them all). Nevertheless, it's worth at least on read-through, and then as a handy reference while managing that project of yours. ( )
