Project Management for Engineering,

Project Management for Engineering,
Business and Technology
There is an ever-growing need for better project management within the disciplines of
engineering, business, and technology and this new edition is a direct response to that need.
By emphasizing practical applications, this book targets the ultimate purpose of project
management: to unify and integrate the interests, resources, and work efforts of many stakeholders
to accomplish the overall project goal.
The book encompasses the essential background material required, from philosophy to
methodology, before presenting concepts and techniques for practical application on topics
including:
• Project initiation and proposals
• Scope and task definition
• Scheduling
• Budgeting
• Risk analysis
The new edition has been updated to provide closer alignment with PMBOK terms and definitions
for more ease of use alongside PMI qualifications and covers the latest developments in
project management methodologies.
Supplemented by brand new case studies from engineering and technology projects, as well
as improved instructor support materials, this text is an ideal resource and reference for anyone
studying or practicing project management within business or engineering environments.
