The author has included advanced topics like earned value analysis and multiple project management. You will also learn how a tool like MS-Project can be used for processes related to risk, quality, and so on, in addition to meeting project objectives like scope, time, and cost. This book will help you to transform yourself from a construction professional to a construction project manager.
