The Economist Guide to Project Management 2nd Edition cover

How to make sure that projects run to budget and schedule - and deliver the intended results.

From the Hubble space telescope that was launched with a malfunctioning device that resulted in all the pictures it took being blurred, to the extremely late completion of England's new national soccer stadium at Wembley, history is full of example of projects that damaged organisations because they were late, over budget, failed to deliver what they were meant to, or were complete disasters.This guide explains the principles and techniques of project management and how they are interconnected with the day-to-day management of a business. It is an invaluable handbook for helping firms deliver successful project outcomes and achieve lasting benefit through effective change.

An invaluable source of information and clear thinking for students and seasoned professionals alike * Manager Magazine *
Very easy to use ... its major strength is its clear and structured approach * Project Magazine *
