The newly revised and updated Second Edition of Cost and Value Management in Projects provides project managers with a thorough understanding of the various dimensions of cost and value in projects, along with the factors that impact them and the managerial approaches for achieving cost efficiency and value optimization. Whereas most cost management books discuss the topic from a tactical perspective, such as through the use of simple budgeting or Earned Value Analysis, this Second Edition addresses cost from a strategic perspective, examining project management decision areas that have the potential to enhance value and providing an integrated framework for managing cost.

The Second Edition includes updates to key topic areas such as project benefits realization, updated end-of-chapter exercises such as discussion questions and problem sets, updated case studies, and new spreadsheet analytic techniques and examples.
