Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cost and Value Management in Projects Project manager's guide to achieving cost efficiency and value optimization—thoroughly updated with new cases, examples, and problem sets The newly revised and updated Second Edition of Cost and Value Management in Projects provides project managers with a thorough understanding of the various dimensions of cost and value in projects, along with the factors that impact them and the managerial approaches for achieving cost efficiency and value optimization. Whereas most cost management books discuss the topic from a tactical perspective, such as through the use of simple budgeting or Earned Value Analysis, this Second Edition addresses cost from a strategic perspective, examining project management decision areas that have the potential to enhance value and providing an integrated framework for managing cost. The Second Edition includes updates to key topic areas such as project benefits realization, updated end-of-chapter exercises such as discussion questions and problem sets, updated case studies, and new spreadsheet analytic techniques and examples. Written by two highly qualified authors with significant experience in the field, Cost and Value Management in Projects includes information on: Value management through value planning, engineering, and analysis from the perspective of projects, and best practices on how to avoid common pitfalls in managing cost and value Organization strategy and project selection, organization structure and culture, project definition (and contracts), and estimating project times and cost Developing project plans and schedules, managing risk, scheduling resources and cost, reducing project duration, leadership, performance measurement, and project closure Attainment of value in complex environmental settings and benefits of effective project management Cost and Value Management in Projects is an essential resource on the subject for stakeholders at all corporate and government levels, including executives measuring performance, middle level corporate managers, project and team managers, engineers, project team members, and business consultants, along with students in related programs of study.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meant to complement rather than compete with the existing books on the subject, this book deals with the project performance and control phases of the project life cycle to present a detailed investigation of the project’s time performance measurement methods and risk analysis techniques in order to evaluate existing and newly developed methods in terms of their abilities to improve the corrective actions decision-making process during project tracking. As readers apply what is learned from the book, EVM practices will become even more effective in project management and cost engineering. Individual chapters look at simulation studies in forecast accuracy; schedule adherence; time sensitivity; activity sensitivity; and using top-down or bottom-up project tracking. Vanhoucke also offers an actual real-life case study, a tutorial on the use of ProTrack software (newly developed based on his research) in EVM, and conclusions on the relative effectiveness for each technique presented.

Book excerpt: Increase Project Value = Attain the Goal Maximizing project value is about optimizing the tradeoff between project value and business value, two values that are constantly in tension between the project manager and the project sponsor. In this book the author brings his wealth of experience in project management to demonstrate how to increase a project's value and ultimately contribute to the attainment of business goals From exploring the nature of “value,” as tangible resources and moral or ethical attributes, to how best to approach decision-making, the book offers thorough coverage of this essential aspect of project management. The tools and methods the author describes include: • Building the business case • Using a project balance sheet • Employing earned value • Introducing game theory for optimizing strategies This valuable reference should be on the desk of every project sponsor, business stakeholder, project manager, portfolio manager, project practitioner, and functional manager.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Project Management process is mainly intended to serve as a general information guide for the young and fresh engineers who enter into the project management consultancy environment. The organizations may provide a broad outline of the project management in general during the induction program at entry level. But it is still desirable to have a complete idea and total understanding of the project management functions on a day to day basis. This aspect of project management is highlighted in the Part – A of this book. Part – A provides a bird’s eye view of the very beginning of development of engineering as a profession, with a holistic view of traditional project management and the project scenarios,and project execution methods with an emphasis on how the project engineering is done? What are the basic steps in the Engineering Design Process? etc. Part – B is on the infrastructure engineering of a grass root mega project. This is an extension of the pre-project activities presented in Part – A . It is aimed at providing project management process from ground preparation to setting up the required plant faculties. As quality is an essential part of the deliverable products and services,project quality and project engineering quality aspects are also presented as per Quality Systems Management System Requirements based on ISO 9001-2015.."
