Mr. Havranek's book provides a very complete overview of project management techniques for the environmental remediation professional. He covers all phases of the project management beginning with evaluation of project opportunities and continuing through project team setup, resource management and tracking and project execution. He also presents a unique approach to strategic planning which utilizes quantitative decision analysis techniques. I highly recommend the book as a project management text.

Tim's book has been out awhile now, but it is still very applicable to the current remediation industry. His discussion of project drivers and probablistic modeling is particulary comprehensive and useful. I highly recommend the book to any project or risk manager in the industry.

Mr. Havranek starts by putting project management in the environmental industry into an historical perspective and proceeds to illustrate how modern project management techniques can be applied within the environmental industry. In an industry that is evolving from reactive mode to thoughtful planning and execution, the book is a primer for project managers.
