The Engineering Is Easy: Memoir of a Project Manager - Paperback

by Bruce E. Podwal (Author)

Project managers will learn how to overcome pitfalls in this self-help guide for managing projects. Written in memoir format, this book also is useful for those considering project management as a career and anyone supervising project managers. Real-world case studies are used to present good practices and lessons learned for numerous project circumstances, including:

• Varying project sizes from small and simple to multi-disciplinary, mega and complex
• Public and private sector clients
• Different delivery methods, including design-build and public-private partnerships
• Domestic and international venues

Even when engineering is easy for someone, their technical competence does not guarantee they will be a successful project manager. This book provides a unique opportunity to observe good and bad decisions the author made as he progressed from engineering student to effective, world-class project manager.
