Project Controls in the 21st Century
Successful projects don’t happen by chance – they require exceptional project controls to plan, schedule, monitor, and deliver effectively. But to truly excel, you need more than just technical skills. Leadership, communication and a deep understanding of the project’s unique context are the pillars of exceptional project management. This comprehensive book brings it all together.
It explores the full spectrum of project management disciplines, including:
- estimating
- planning and scheduling
- risk management
- cost and commercial management
