This textbook provides a structured, step-by-step introduction to effective construction project management by combining theoretical foundations with practical learning. Designed for readers without prior knowledge, it introduces essential principles, methods, and tools and demonstrates their application through an integrated case study project covering the entire project life cycle.

By showing how recognized project management standards and practices are applied in a realistic project environment, the book connects theory and practice and helps readers develop practical project management skills. Examples and worked solutions enable learners to understand, apply, and transfer project management methods to real-world projects across various industries.

Professor Dr.-Ing. Shymaa El-Aboodi is a civil engineer and recognized expert in construction project management. With more than 25 years of combined academic and professional experience, she lectures at several universities in Germany and bridges academic theory with industry practice. Her extensive background as a project management consultant and construction project manager enables her to translate established project management standards and methodologies into practical approaches for successfully managing real-world construction projects.
