Reviews / Votes

"... offers a solid grounding for the study of project evaluation techniques and tools and serves as a high-level overview of the terms, concepts, and techniques required. It also features a rich group of references, resources, definitions, and graphics to clarify ideas and concepts. An included CD contains a project evaluation resource kit with documentation for evaluating projects and performing ongoing maintenance on project lessons. It includes contract examples, job aids, guidelines, procedures, forms, checklists, report designs, diagrams, presentations, and more. The kit alone is worth the price of the book."-Karl M. Kapp, EdD, CFPIM, CIRM, Bloomsburg University, writing in APICS magazine, September/October 2012

"... is an easy-to-understand guide to evaluating one's projects and the resulting lessons learned. Thomas gives readers the tools to examine the impact of projects, evaluate knowledge learned from past projects, and determine if a project actually was a success. This book combines many best practices in an easy-to-follow process and incorporates the five project management groups-initiating, planning, executing, monitoring/controlling, and closing. It is ideal for anyone managing a project, from a small program in a not-for-profit organization to a large venture in a multinational corporation."-T & D, November 2012 The Basics of Project Evaluation and Lessons Learned offers a solid grounding for the study of project evaluation techniques and tools and serves as a high-level overview of the terms, concepts, and techniques required.
