Guide to project management - Paul Roberts

From the Hubble space telescope that was launched with a malfunctioning device that resulted in all the pictures it took being blurred, to the extremely late completion of England's national soccer stadium at Wembley, history is full of examples of projects that damaged organisations because they were late, over budget, failed to deliver what they were meant to, or were complete disasters.This guide explains the principles and techniques of project management and how they are interconnected with the day-to-day management of a business. It is an invaluable handbook for helping firms deliver successful project outcomes and achieve lasting benefit through effective change.

Paul Roberts specialises and has worked extensively in the field of project, programme and change management with organisations such as British Airways, ComputaCenter, The Economist, HBOS, Ministry of Defence, Pfizer, Inland Revenue, Royal Mail, Somerfield and Wilco.
