Summary

• "Ideal for advanced undergraduate- and graduate-level students and professionals in management, project, systems, and construction engineering, Computer-Aided Project Management builds a bridge from the genesis of project management principles through today's software, developing a postmodern project management systems paradigm for the twenty-first century. Adopting a unique systems perspective that emphasizes project coding - an essential skill in project database management - this book shows what fundamental project management principles are, what they do, and how they work in the software environment.
• Addressing all phases of a project, it illustrates and expands theories through the use of realistic case studies - which are based on actual project experience - and extensive exercises running on PCs. An important feature of systems project management, the use of "scope" and "quality," is also discussed." "An in-depth, application-based introduction to effective systems and methods for project planning and control, Computer-Aided Project Management provides students, instructors, and professionals with the essential knowledge to manage successfully and to create, use, and communicate PC-, Server-, Web-, and Internet-based project management information."--Jacket.
