This is a thoroughly revised and restructured Indian reprint of the highly successful Gower Handbook of Project Management. The new content is shaped by, and linked to, the body of knowledge produced by the International Project Management Association and the Project Management Institute of the USA, and so will be an invaluable study aid for anyone following either certification programme. In following this framework the book provides comprehensive coverage of the knowledge required both by practicing project managers and by those wishing to study this subject. This book is divided into seven parts covering: The systems of project management, The context of projects including political, economic social, technical, legal and environmental issues, The management of performance including functionality, quality, time, cost, risk and safety, The management of the project life-cycle, The management of commercial issues including appraisal and finance, The management of contracts, The management of the people involved. This unique encyclopaedia for the discipline and profession of project management is destined to become a classic that no-one in the field should be without.
