Engineering Project Management is part of a series on Cost Engineering. While the book is relatively short, 246 pages, the author has presented a wide range of details on many typical projects that are worthy of study by persons in managerial positions or who are inspired to become an effective manager. In a Preface, Blanchard gives reasons for the principles that are presented, but points out that there are so many ramifications in each project that answers to questions cannot be given like “recipes in a cookbook”. Many terms are defined, including project.
