The Dynamic Progress Method (eBook, ePUB)

Using Advanced Simulation to Improve Project Planning and Management

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The product of nearly a decade of work, this revolutionary book illustrates some of the issues with current approaches in project planning and management due to outdated computational tools that operate on methods created in the 1950s. It presents the Dynamic Progress Method (DPM), an innovative simulation-based approach designed to meet the planning and management needs of the more complex projects of today. A DPM-based simulation tool, pmBLOX, accompanies the book along with operational instructions for planning, managing, and analyzing projects.
