Projects are found everywhere. The fast pace of change in our world calls for constant development of new products and processes. Building new facilities creates the need for engineering and/or construction projects. In order to keep close to the cutting edge of computer power, many information systems projects are required. Large accounting firms have enlarged their information systems consulting operations, and almost all of this type of consulting involves an information systems project. Governments get involved in conflicts and require new and better munitions systems. The COVID epidemic that began in 2020 created the need for new drugs, another specialty type of project involving pharmaceuticals and regulatory agencies. There are more and more projects of varying complexity. They involve unique activities that draw people together from diverse locations and diverse organizations with diverse, specialized skills.
This book follows up two books published with Business Expert Press in 2020: Core Concepts of Project Management and Quantitative Tools of Project Manage-ment, to which the author has retained rights. Those books focused on information systems projects. This book takes a more general approach, unifies and updates those publications.
Chapter 1 gives an overview of projects and discusses the difficulties in completing projects on time, within budget and at designed functionality. While the successful completion of a project is a challenge, there are some things that can be done to improve the probability of a project’s success. The book reviews a number of project management concepts. These include developing organizational ability to work on projects, as discussed in Chapters 2 and 3. Sponsor expectations can be based on better information if a good job of project development, estimation and selection is conducted, as discussed in Chapters 4, 5 and 6. Project planning tools involving the critical path method are covered in Chapter 7. Tools to evaluate project risk are covered in Chapter 8. The critical chain method is covered in Chapter 9. Chapter 10 discusses means to rush projects when circumstances demand. Chapter 11 covers project implementation and control, including assessment of delay responsibility.
