In November 2012, Lunga published a book titled “The Missing Link in Projects”. The book gives full credit to the human factor in project management and it acknowledges the vital role people play in the unfolding of projects. It is well understood that project management has two main streams, the technical and the personal component. The personal component plays a role as it involves the people, and the key to project success is the people. However, the human aspect in projects is the most neglected. The book discusses topics in easy to read format. Lunga Msengana can be contacted at lunga12@gmail.com.
