As a companion to books on project-management theory, this book
illustrates, in a down-to-earth, comprehensive style, how to put
that theory into practice. In addition to the many examples that
illustrate procedures, the book includes over 25 case studies, each
one addressing a specific theme. Key topics, such as project
selection, negotiations, planning and scheduling, cost and
budgeting, project control, human resources, environmental impacts,
risk management, and financial evaluation, are discussed, using a
step-by-step approach. Beginning at the grassroots level, some
cases are solved by hand to illustrate the mechanics of a
procedure, while others are solved using advanced computer
programs. In this way the reader has a clear idea of the problem,
how and when to raise the issue, information needed (and who can
provide it), how to solve it by hand, when possible, and also its
resolution using the latest informatics tools.
