Frequently Asked Questions
What books are published by PMMilestone Press?
Three flagship titles by Dr. Hassan Eliwa, PhD: 'The Project Controls Field Handbook' (2024), 'Primavera P6 for Planning Engineers — From Activity to Audit' (2023), and 'Earned Value Management Explained for Engineers' (2022).

Planning engineers, cost engineers, project controls engineers, project managers, EPC contractors and owner-side project controls teams working on construction, power, infrastructure and substation programmes.Where can I buy the books?
Each book page links to the PMMilestone.org books library where formats and pricing are listed — paperback, eBook, and a discounted bundle of all three titles. Educational and bulk licensing for engineering firms is also available on request.Do the books include templates and calculators?
Yes. Every book ships with downloadable companion templates (schedule health checklist, EVM workbook, risk register, change log) hosted on PMMilestone.org, plus links to the live SPI, CPI and EVM calculators so worked examples can be reproduced.Are the books suitable for PMP, PMI-SP or AACE certification preparation?
They cover the project-controls body of knowledge tested by PMP, PMI-SP and AACE PSP/EVP certifications, but they are not exam-prep books — they are field references. Use them alongside, not instead of, official exam-prep materials when sitting a certification.
