Project Management, 5th Edition

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

The development and publication of this fifth edition required the cooperative efforts of many people, who served as advocates, consultants, and facilitators. Our deep appreciation goes to all these “stakeholders” who contributed in many important ways to this book. Much appreciation is due to our students, clients, and project-community associates who allowed us to talk with them about the theory and practice of project management.

Our thanks to Dr. Bopaya Bidanda, chairperson of the Industrial Engineering Department and Dr. Gerald D. Holder, dean of the School of Engineering at the University of Pittsburgh, who provided an intellectual and supportive environment where projects such as this book can be pursued.

We thank Claire ...
