Project Management For Business & Tech., 2/E

This comprehensive text covers all the qualitative and quantitative aspects of project management with a practical treatment of many engineering and managerial issues. It draws examples from a wide variety of business and technology projects to develop an appreciation not only for the management aspect of projects-planning, scheduling, budgeting, and control-but for the human and organizational issues as well. Besides, the book is structured around a single framework of project management called the systems development cycle which serves as a general scheme for illustrating commonalities and differences between engineering and non-engineering projects. Substantial new material, including current examples and case studies, has been incorporated to impart contemporary relevance, making this a practical and interesting book for both students and project managers.
