Project Management for Engineering, Business and Technology is a
highly regarded textbook that addresses project management across
all industries. First covering the essential background, from
origins and philosophy to methodology, the bulk of the book is
dedicated to concepts and techniques for practical application.
Coverage includes project initiation and proposals, scope and task
definition, scheduling, budgeting, risk analysis, control, project
selection and portfolio management, program management, project
organization, and all-important "people" aspects-project
leadership, team building, conflict resolution, and stress
management. The systems development cycle is used as a framework to
discuss project management in a variety of situations, making this
the go-to book for managing virtually any kind of project, program,
or task force. The authors focus on the ultimate purpose of project
management-to unify and integrate the interests, resources and work
efforts of many stakeholders, as well as the planning, scheduling,
and budgeting needed to accomplish overall project goals. This
sixth edition features: updates throughout to cover the latest
developments in project management methodologies; a new chapter on
project procurement management and contracts; an expansion of case
study coverage throughout, including those on the topic of
sustainability and climate change, as well as cases and examples
from across the globe, including India, Africa, Asia, and
Australia; and extensive instructor support materials, including an
instructor's manual, PowerPoint slides, answers to chapter review
questions and a test bank of questions. Taking a technical yet
accessible approach, this book is an ideal resource and reference
for all advanced undergraduate and graduate students in project
management courses, as well as for practicing project managers
across all industry sectors.
