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.
