Synopsis :

"Project Management for Business and Engineering" is a direct response to the ever-increasing need for better project management. This book encompasses the full range of project management - everything from origins, philosophy, and methodology to actual applications. Nicholas describes concepts and techniques such as project initiation and proposals, scope and task definition, scheduling, budgeting, risk analysis, control, project organization, and the often overlooked 'people' side - project leadership, team building, conflict, and stress management.The Systems Development Cycle is used as a framework to discuss project management in a variety of situations, making this book useful for managing virtually any kind of project, program, or task force. Over 230 figures and tables, 60 short examples and illustrative cases, and end-of-chapter summaries, review problems, questions, and case studies are included. The author draws upon his experience with projects in information technology, systems analysis, aerospace engineering, human resource development, and over a decade of teaching project management as a university professor. This book presents a comprehensive, balanced topical coverage. It is interesting to read. The book includes numerous figures and tables (figure/table appears every 2.5 pages, average), and systems approach: methodologies, development cycle, and engineering.
