Managing Risks in Projects Project Execution and Control Project Roles, Responsibility and Authority The Management of Project Management Reviews "As a Professor who has taught Project Engineering for the last 14 years, I have also performed large scale Project Engineering throughout my first career over 20 years in Aerospace, Defense and Information Technology. When deciding on a textbook for my graduate Project Engineering class, I looked long and hard.
I wasn''t finding what I was looking for and was going to write my own, until I found Project Management for Engineering, Business and Technology. This is the textbook I would have written. It is robust, complete and easy to follow.
The graphics, charts and figures are all very descriptive and real. And my students like the paperback nature of the book. I also recommend it as a "keeper" for students who will be guiding projects in the future. This book has long been a comprehensive but accessible publication that provides valuable insights into the strategic and day-to-day management of projects both large and small. There are numerous publications in this fieldbut Nicholas and Steyn have found the balance between the needs of experienced practitioners looking for ways to improve project outcomes, and the needs of students who are new to the project management field.
The concepts are clearly and logically laid out, and the language is appropriate for a wide range of audiences.
Project management for engineering, business and technology /. John M. Nicholas and Herman Steyn. -- 4th ed. p. cm. Rev. ed. of: Project management for . Project Management for Business, Engineering and Technology, 3rd edition is a direct response to the ever-increasing need for better project management.
It continues to be a benchmark in a crowded field of publications offering both practical and strategic insights into the art and craft of project management. I have evaluated the current 5th edition of the book from the perspective of a a teaching resource b study material and 3 as a resource for case study and references.
I find that the 5th edition has been thoroughly revamped and incorporates several relevant resources and presented in a very lucid and structured way. The book is also a good resource as a study material for certification courses. Nicholas and Steyn explain the matter in a readable and easy-to-understand way, illustrated with interesting examples. The authors combine the ''hard matter'' of project management with relevant behavioural aspects. Overall, a useful work for anyone new to the field or as reference for the more advanced project manager.
Projects bring change and project management is recognised as the most effective way to managing such change. This book encourages readers to become interested and involved in the change towards renewed project management and management of projects. An excellent mix of materials to enable students to learn techniques and engage in discussion of scenarios. Harry Potter Years by J.
