Project Management Tools and Techniques: A Guide to Good Practice presents a unique approach to the teaching of project management by blending theory, application, and case studies. Each chapter presents a different tool or technique used by project managers and is structured in a simple way as follows:

· What does the tool or technique provide for the project?

· How is the tool/technique delivered, managed, and used?

· A case study of the tool or technique in use

· The historical context and development of the tool

Covering core topics such as project feasibility, lifecycle, scheduling, budgets, risk, complexity, leadership, handover and much more. Together the four sections of each chapter look at the benefits of using the PM process, or ‘why the process is used’ followed by ‘how it is delivered’ and then address ‘what can go wrong if it is ignored’ before noting its development as a tool within Modern Project Management. Each chapter then concludes with a section discussing how the techniques have developed using stories of landmark projects throughout the world to both teach and engage students. This new textbook covers essential skills required for successful project management allowing students to apply the topics discussed directly to a work environment and heightening their understanding of the what, how and why of project management. This book is suitable for use on a variety of global project management courses in disciplines across engineering, built environment and business. It is also a useful reference for newly established PMs looking for a handy toolkit.
