Emphasizing management contracts and establishing a system for quality programmes, this book is written for those whose objective is to be an effective project manager - co-ordinating team members in setting up all types of projects. It focuses on the early stages of project development - when decisions are made that have the most impact on a project - and integrates the three basic components of a project: scope, budget, and schedule. It presents the principles and techniques of project management beginning with the conceptual phase, going on to cover co-ordination of design and construction to project completion. Integrating the importance of team building and co-ordination throughout, it features an entire chapter devoted to total quality management and includes numerous tables and graphs. Also available is a solutions manual (0-07-048151-2).

This review is from: Project Management for Engineering and Construction. Garold D. Oberlender (Paperback)

This book just doesn't contain anything useful inside it, which certainly isn't reflected in the price.

Its not that the book is poorly written, its just that its subject is silly. Everything contained within is either too general to really be useful at any point in the future. When it goes into specifics, it is refering to specific situations that are largely unique to a few individual oganizations. If one does ever use any of the information contained in this book, most of it will be completely obvious to you, that which isn't can easily be learned in a few hours from any organization that actually uses it.

Don't bother with this unless you are forced to buy it.
