From the Back Cover

Why do projects fail? The rate of project failure remains high despite the use of project management methodologies, bodies of knowledge and new technologies. Project Management explores the risk and complexity inherent in project management and the potential problems that can arise. Drawing on the author's real life experiences, the book suggests actions and techniques that can be taken to help detect, prevent and resolve problems before they can have a major impact on a project.

Focusing on both PMBoK and PRINCE2 methodologies and packed full of real life examples and revision questions, Project Management is an ideal text for undergraduate, postgraduate and MBA students taking a module in project management. It will also be an invaluable resource for practicing project managers.
