Review
"The overall order of the contents is logical. Having an introductory chapter that deals project management is useful. Then proceeding from WBS, to network plan, to network model, to computations, works well." — James Stein, Eastern Michigan University
"The use of the townhouse case study is an excellent opportunity to make the material real." — John Jarchow, Pima Community College
