"With this book, Jim Taylor has captured the essence of project scheduling and cost control as a process versus just an activity, teaching the reader the true art and science of this vital process." -Bob McGannon, Director, Mindavation; "Finally, there is a book that describes the theoretical and practical applications of project schedule and cost planning and control covering the how and what it means for two difficult practical problems in all projects. This book explains, simply and practically, how to produce a schedule, create an estimate, and then execute the project. It is definitely an important resource for the new or experienced PM." -Joe R.
