| Abstract

:
|
Project Management for Business, Engineering, and Technology 3e 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 and Steyn describe concepts and techniques such as project initiation and proposals; scope and task definition; scheduling and budgeting; quality, procurement, and risk management; project control and organization; and the often overlooked "people" side - project leadership, team building, conflict, and stress management.
