N2  - "Project Management for Business, Engineering, and Technology 3rd edition is a direct response to the ever-increasing need for better project management. This book encompasses the full range of project management - everything from origins, philosophy, and methodology to actual applications. Nicholas and Steyn describe concepts and techniques such as project initiation and proposals; scope and task definition; scheduling and budgeting; quality, procurement, and risk management; project control and organization; and the often overlooked "people" side - project leadership, team building, conflict, and stress management. The Systems Development Cycle is used as a framework to discuss project management in a variety of situations, making this the go-to book for managing virtually any kind of project, program or task force. Focusing on projects as goal-oriented systems of interrelated components functioning in a larger environment, the book targets the ultimate purpose of project management--to unify and integrate the interests, resources and work efforts of many stakeholders, as well as schedules, budgets, and plans, to accomplish the overall project goal."
