The Essentials of Project Management (The Essentials of Project and Programme Management)

Reviews of previous editions:'Lock has moved even more closely to the life cycle concept that many of us use as the basis of developments in educational technology (and that all in information technology developmenthave had to use for decades). ...This book is for business students and for serving managers with just an occasional project to steer. Steering any project will be much less trouble with this book to hand.' British Journal of Educational Technology'Concise, straightforward and easy to read ... There is a logical progression about the text, which lends itself to frequent visits without heavy study ... There are many references in the book with examples, a good index, a comprehensive list of figures and a bibliography. There are also many illustrations, which are well laid out and easy-to-follow flow charts. This text would add value to any manager's bookcase and would support the learning of many students.' Training Journal 'The author argues that most managers will need, at some stage, to manage projects. Information specialists are no exception and this book is an ideal starter for them ... This is, in my view, good value and recommended to Journal readers, particularly to those looking to broaden their careers as well as enhance their curriculum vitae.'
