Project Management Books: 20+ Best Books For Project Managers

Project management books can be incredibly useful tools if you’re new to project management or have just been put in charge of a massive, scary project. Read up, learn, and get some project management books on your bookshelf.

While it’s impossible to replace real-life project management experience, project management books can come in handy when you’ve got a few gaps in your project management experience that you want to fill, you’re taking on a new type of project, or an aspect of a project that you’ve not done before.

The beauty of books on project management is that while you may not have the necessary experience, several others do! Sure, trial and error may be a great way to learn, but being able to avoid errors by using someone else’s project management knowledge and experience is always a smart choice.

But with so many books on project management, how do you find the best project management book for you? There are project management books to cover everything from basic project management skills and techniques to the softer skills of leadership, communication, delegation, and productivity.

To make the choice easier, we’ve curated a list of 20 of the best project management books and divided them into newbie, beginner, experienced and advanced levels of project management expertise so that you can find a book to match your level of PM experience.

You can also find here our complete guides that cover some of the essentials of project management: project plans, statement of work, and project estimates. These are available through our DPM membership — more info on how to get your copy below!
