DOWNLOAD EBOOKIs it time to innovate on a project level? Are you facing a project problem that your current practices and technology cannot solve? Are the time horizons of your projects getting shorter but the means to accomplish it have not changed? If you answered yes to either question, then you need to innovate on the project level. Why? Your company wants to be more competitive and will reduce the timelines of projects to fit more within the fiscal year. Your customers need to have more flexible solutions from the companies they do business with. Or, your industry is moving in a direction that your company is not heading in. These situations require the project leader to become adept at managing grass roots innovation on their projects. Books and blogs abound on the corporate innovator and how your company can have the next hot thing. But there is very little in the way of writing regarding bottom up innovation, and there is very little material out there for the project leader to navigate this path of innovation. This book takes the conversation to a new level, to one where the largest impact of innovation is felt; at the project level. We will discuss innovation through the eyes of the project leader and the project team since this book was written for project leaders by a project leader!

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDue to a lack of appreciation of the true economic identity of projects, techniques and metrics that could hugely improve project selection and performance are not being used. This book provides insights and innovative techniques drawn from more than a quarter century of experience. These techniques have the potential to transform program and project management from the current haphazard application of various techniques and metrics to an incisive and integrated approach where programs and projects are managed for the crucial economic and financial implications that are at the essence of every project investment.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKProject Management -- the process of managing, allocating, and timing resources to achieve a given goal in an efficient and expedient manner -- has emerged as a separate discipline that is being increasingly embraced by various sectors, ranging from business to engineering. Comprehensive in perspective, this book presents an approach to project management -- from planning through implementation -- that integrates qualitative and quantitative techniques . Practical in approach, it demonstrates with numerous examples how three categories of tools -- management practices, optimization models, and computer applications -- complement one another to enhance overall project management. Considers traditional project management techniques, modern applications of operations research methodologies, and computer applications -- as well as supporting topics such as forecasting and inventory management. Reviews other methodologies, such as regression analysis and decision making methodologies that a project manager can utilize. Organizes chapters hierarchically to illustrate the incremental steps in a project management process -- from setting project goals to terminating the project. Features numerous examples and a chapter-length case study. For Industrial Engineers and Operations Managers.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKProjects are the engines that drive innovation from idea to commercialization. In fact, the number of projects in most organizations today is expanding while operations is shrinking. Yet, since many companies still focus on operational excellence and efficiency, most projects fail--largely because conventional project management concepts cannot adapt to a dynamic business environment. Moreover, top managers neglect their company's project activity, and line managers treat all their projects alike--as part of operations. Based on an unprecedented study of more than 600 projects in a variety of businesses and organizations around the globe, "Reinventing Project Management" provides a new and highly adaptive model for planning and managing projects to achieve superior business results.
