Planning, Performing, & Controlling Projects

Book by Angus, Robert B., Gundersen, Norman A.

Key Benefit: This book explores the theory and practice involved in the design and management of technically oriented projects. It outlines a specific four-phase systematic approach and explores its implementation in a real-world case study. Key Topics: Identifies four distinct phases of a typical project: the Conception Phase, where ideas are devised and brainstormed; the Study Phase, where potential designs are investigated; the Design Phase, where the system is actually designed in detail; and the Implementation Phase, where the system is constructed and delivered. Considers for each Phase, purpose and goal; activities; definition of the completion of the phase; and exercises. Market: For practicing Engineers and project managers.
