I read this book to give me more ideas on how to do projects, and later realized that it has assisted me how to manage my time well. Depending on the weight of one aspect, you'll be able to come up with goals that will let you meet the deadline. This guided me well. :)
A useful guideline to start with. However, it is necessary to use the bibliography in order to have more details on each step which has briefly been explained in the book.
