The combination of two best-sellers on applied project management make up this second edition. The author has taken the best from his Successful Project Management and integrated it with his Project Management for Engineers and the result is the most up-to-date coverage of project management available. It features expanded coverage of CPM/Pert methodologies for decision-making in a multivariate environment, explanations of current project management software tools and more emphasis on project management leadership of project team members. An example project used throughout clarifies how to apply all concepts and reports. Strategies are based on the author's consulting business, which twice has been named one of the 100 top management consulting firms in US.
