Dennis Lock is best known for his hugely successful Project Management, perhaps the definitive text on the subject. This book is distilled from that one to form a primer which will meet the needs of the nonspecialist. It is concise and straightforward and introduces the key concepts and procedures, using illustrations and examples and explains how and when to use them.

This second edition reflects the changes made for the seventh edition of Project Management and represents a thorough revision of the text, together with a redrawing of all illustrations to improve clarity.

This is an ideal introduction to the subject for those starting to work in the area of project management (including those needing to work on development projects as part of their main role) or for students.
