Project Management - Tapa dura

This exposition of the principles and practice of project management examines the entire process in detail, from initial appraisal to final closedown, demonstrating techniques that range from the simplest of manual charts to sophisticated computer systems. The text is reinforced throughout with case examples and diagrams. For this edition, the text has been meticulously revised and updated, and includes a new chapter on aspects of managing project risk. As with previous editions, great care has been taken to ensure that the text style remains easy to read, with clear diagrams and a construction that is logically organized, well indexed and simple to navigate.
