Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Any project management books

Dear M.

You can check the Planning Engineers Organization website:

I Think Wideman ComparativeGlosaary of Project Management Terms v3.1

is a good start.

I started downlading the glossary and I find it ammussing that some of the terms in the glossary I did encountered but did not know it was called that way.

Cheers,
Happy Planning and Scheduling

Construction Planning, Equipment, and Methods by R. L. Peurifoy

Most thorough book, I ever saw on Equipments

Dear Mukunda,

I would recommend that you start with the PMBOK; Project Management Book of knowledge by the pmi. It is $34 from Amazon.com. This is a good start.

Best,
