Paperback. You can build the thing. Can you run the project?You can design the system, run the analysis, and verify the result. Then someone hands you a project - and overnight the job is schedules, budgets, stakeholders, risk, and a hundred decisions a week your engineering training never covered.This handbook is written for that engineer. It teaches project management the way an engineer learns best: as a system, with the parts shown to fit together rather than scattered as a list of tips.The organizing idea is that a well-run project is a control loop: The baseline is the set point.Earned value and the metrics are the sensor.Variance analysis is the comparator.The project manager and the governance are the controller.The risks are the disturbances the loop exists to reject.If you already think in control systems, tolerances, interfaces, and verification, you are most of the way there - you mainly need to transpose those habits and learn the human and organizational dimensions your degree skipped.What makes this handbook differentEvery formula is worked. Estimating mathematics, critical-path forward and backward passes, earned-value calculations, three-point estimates, decision trees, and quantitative risk analysis appear as calculations carried through on real numbers - so you follow the method and check your own work, instead of memorizing a formula you never see applied.One project runs through the entire book. A single capital project threads from the first planning chapter to the last, its numbers consistent across all 38 chapters.

You can build the thing. Can you run the project?
You can design the system, run the analysis, and verify the result. Then someone hands you a project — and overnight the job is schedules, budgets, stakeholders, risk, and a hundred decisions a week your engineering training never covered.
This handbook is written for that engineer. It teaches project management the way an engineer learns best: as a system, with the parts shown to fit together rather than scattered as a list of tips.
The organizing idea is that a well-run project is a control loop:
- The baseline is the set point.
- Earned value and the metrics are the sensor.
- Variance analysis is the comparator.
- The project manager and the governance are the controller.
- The risks are the disturbances the loop exists to reject.
If you already think in control systems, tolerances, interfaces, and verification, you are most of the way there — you mainly need to transpose those habits and learn the human and organizational dimensions your degree skipped.
What makes this handbook different
- Every formula is worked. Estimating mathematics, critical-path forward and backward passes, earned-value calculations, three-point estimates, decision trees, and quantitative risk analysis appear as calculations carried through on real numbers — so you follow the method and check your own work, instead of memorizing a formula you never see applied.
- One project runs through the entire book. A single capital project threads from the first planning chapter to the last, its numbers consistent across all 38 chapters. Four further case studies — a compressed-schedule launch, a fixed-price dispute, a hybrid hardware-and-firmware program, and a recovery — put the principles under different kinds of pressure.
- It is honest about the hard parts. The silent quality trade. The optimism that underestimates every project. The dashboard that reports green while the project slides. The project that should be stopped but isn't. This book names those failure patterns and shows the disciplines that prevent them.
Inside, you will find
- The work breakdown structure, estimating, and critical-path scheduling
- Budgeting, earned value, and cost control
- Risk identification, analysis, and response
- Execution, monitoring, change control, and quality
- Leading a team you don't control, communication, and negotiation
- Procurement and contracts
- Agile, hybrid delivery, and AI-assisted project work
- Programs, portfolios, recovery, and closeout
A full appendix set adds templates, a formula reference card, a schedule-quality checklist, calibration worksheets, a meeting-cadence pack, a glossary, and worked solutions.
Run your next project like the engineer you already are
The next project you are handed will not wait while you learn this on the job. Put a complete project-management system on your desk before you need it — get your copy of The Engineering Project Management Handbook today.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
