Total Project Control (eBook, PDF)

A Practitioner's Guide to Managing Projects as Investments, Second Edition

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Demonstrating how to maximize the business value of a project, this book covers critical path drag, and its corollaries: drag cost, true cost, resource availability drag (RAD), and the cost of leveling with unresolved bottlenecks (the CLUB). It shows how to compute and use them to rightsize staffing levels for projects, programs, and organizations. It details earned value techniques that explain what readers need to know about earned value tracking: uses, abuses, value, distortions, and potential fixes. The book then extends these metrics into techniques for indexing, tracking, progressing, and improving the business value of projects.
