Excerpt provided by Syndetics

Dennis Lock's masterly exposition of the principles and practice of project management has been pre-eminent in its field for four decades. It explains the entire project management process in great detail, demonstrating techniques ranging from the simplest of charts to sophisticated computer applications. Everything is reinforced throughout with case examples and diagrams. The text has been completely restructured and largely rewritten for this ninth edition, so that the sequence now follows even more closely the life-cycle of a typical project from its earliest definition to final close-out. Case examples and diagrams have all been reviewed, updated, augmented or replaced. Excerpted from Project Management (Ebk) by Dennis Lock All rights reserved by the original copyright owners.
