Doesn't give practical examples to program managemment. The concepts are easily understood but the implementation detail is very limited.

The main value of the approach the author provides is that it's both effective and consistent with best practices in project estimating.

The other two are "Nuts and Bolts Series 1--How to Build a Work Breakdown Structure" by Carl L. Pritchard, and "Project Management Institute Practice Standard for Work Breakdown Structures".

NOT! A must buy though ... This book used to be on PMI's recommended reading list for PMP preparation (I am not sure if it still is).
