'The author very succinctly covers the 'What and Why' of earned value together with its origins and history. These chapters give the reader a very good insight into the process and its likely value as a management technique. The calculation and subsequent management of earned value data are also covered... The author adopts a refreshingly objective view on the process. ... The book would be especially useful as additional reading for final year undergraduates quantity surveying and construction management students and as recommended reading for postgraduate students.' Building Engineer '...the author's common sense approach makes the basic principles of managing projects with earned value relatively easy to understand.' Professional Manager ''The author's writing style is direct and economical, which means that whether you are dipping into chapters for reference or reading about the process from cover to cover, everything he has to say is pertinent and helpful.' Engineering Designer 'The book provides invaluable reference and I have no hesitation in recommending it to all those involved in project management.' Professional Business and Technical Management.
