This book is very valuable and practical in use. I apply it in a business project planning course, and the clear explanations of project management principles and tools are proven to be very insightful and drive student engagement." - Rogier ten Kate, Professor and Program Coordinator, International Business Management, Durham College"Understanding Project Management continues to be an excellent resource for both myself (in my own professional practice) and for my software engineering students. The provided project management templates, along with easy-to-understand instruction, examples, and visuals, enable my students to learn-by-doing while experiencing and reflecting on the various important steps and checkpoints in a project life cycle." - Dr. Timothy Maciag, Lecturer, Software Systems Engineering, University of Regina
