Managing Project Ending

Zusatztext "This book looks at the successful management of the premature end of one project. It uses an excellent case study and as the layers are peeled away the complexity is unveiled and the achievement of success for all parties is demonstrated. Although not couched in project management speak this is an admirable adjunct to the conventional project and programme management texts and is a recommended read for aspiring and practicing project managers."
