Project Planning, Scheduling, and Control: The Ultimate Hands-On Guide to Bringing Projects in On Time and On Budget

The  go-to guide for getting projects done on time and on budget―revised and  updated with a sophisticated image program and contemporary examples

For  more than 30 years, James P. Lewis's project management bible has been  the benchmark guide for project managers, supervisors, MBA students and  everyone studying to pass the PMP® exam. Packed with information on best  practices, smart strategies, and a comprehensive survey of the issues  you'll encounter as a project manager, it provides an thorough,  applications-oriented understanding of the issues in the practice of  contemporary project management and a useful reinforcement of the  Project Management Institute's recommended success strategies.

Every chapter of Project Planning, Scheduling and Control  contains a wealth of essential information―from the role of the project  manager and description of the PMBOK® Guide to Whole Brain® project  management and how to achieve high performance project management.  Throughout this edition, you'll find all-new data supporting the  information on project definition, planning, execution and control, in  chapters that include "Headless-Chicken Projects and How to Prevent  Them," "Developing Project Strategy," "Conducting Project Reviews" and  more.

With an entirely new section offering more  strategies on leadership, stakeholder relations, managing a remote team  and beyond, and an appendix that includes helpful sections for schedule  computations, calculations for an AOA network, and constrained end date  scheduling, this latest edition of the classic guide offers the most  up-to-date, thorough and hands-on preparation a project manager―or a  project manager-in-training―can get.
