Many new ideas in project planning and cost control have been tried in the past 20 years. Some of them led to techniques taken for granted today. Others, that initially appeared logical and feasible, proved to be unworkable. Project Management supplies techniques that help with the planning and management of cost control.
This book describes techniques currently used by systems engineers and project managers on major projects. It covers variations and modifications to suit different projects and management styles. The author takes a semi-procedural approach, using a minimum of words to give maximum information. He provides practical examples to illustrate each application.
Experienced industrial managers know the essentials - good forward planning, budget control, and performance measurement - that maintain the viability of any project. Project Management puts these elements and functions into perspective. It gives experienced managers and young engineers alike the tools they need to see the big picture.
