This book is designed to be a quick guidelines-oriented approach to the topic of project management. It contains the essential management practices required to produce successful project outcomes.

Guidelines for Achieving Project Management Success helps the non-technical reader who might have been originally put off by a more robust treatment of project management. It uses the 80/20 rule where 80% of the project management problem may originate from just 20% of the cause. The book includes easy to understand examples illustrating key topics and offers advice and references for further reading. The book also helps the reader on how to define what the target is with the project and how to execute it to get the desired results.

The primary audience is individuals who are seeking a readable description of the project management processes. The book is also useful for an academic program where project management is secondary to the primary topic.

He followed this as a manufacturing engineer at Texas Instruments in the Government Products Division. Later, non-academic experience involved various consulting-oriented assignments in Washington, DC, for the Defense Communications Agency, Department of Labor, and the U.S. Air Force (Pentagon).

Gary earned his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the Louisiana Tech, an AFIT post-graduate program in Meteorology at the University of Texas, a M.S. in Engineering Management from the University of Alaska, and a Ph.D. in Business Administration from the University of North Texas. His broad experience, associated with over 100 significant projects of various types over more than a fifty-year period, have provided a wealth of background in this area as he observed project outcomes and various management techniques that have evolved over this time.
