Project Management is a user friendly guide to facilitate the learning of students regardless of their mode of study. In addition, practitioners and independent learners who are seeking to enhance their knowledge base and develop their project management skills will benefit from the practical approach adopted in this textbook; simplifying some of the challenging concepts and numerical aspects.
