Book description
Timely and accessible content on the traditional project management
activities of control, risk, time and cost, and quality and value
The Wiley Guides to the Management of Projects address critical,
need-to-know information that will help professionals successfully
manage projects in most businesses and help students learn the best
practices of the industry. They contain not only well-known and widely
used basic project management practices but also the newest and most
cutting-edge concepts in the broader theory and practice of managing projects.
This second book in the series explains the "traditional"
project management activities of control, risk, time, cost, and quality.
The expert contributors show that project control represents more than
the simple evaluation of project performance. They detail the principles
of project time and cost control and offer a detailed review of critical
chain project management. In addition, they provide a framework for
project performance measurement, show how to make risk management more
effective, and tell how to improve quality management.
Touching on all of the fundamental levers of project control, this book
will prove to be a comprehensive "owner's manual" for project
and team managers, project team members, engineers, business
consultants, and all those involved in any aspect of project management.
