Abstract:

"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." "This textbook is intended for business analysts, engineers, system developers, systems analysts, and others just getting started in management, and for managers and administrators with little project management training."--BOOK JACKET.
