Summary
Dennis Lock's masterly exposition of the principles and practice of project management has been pre-eminent in its field for four decades. It was among the very few early books to treat project management holistically, rather than as a collection of separate techniques. It thus explains the entire project management process in great detail, demonstrating techniques ranging from the simplest of charts to sophisticated computer applications. Everything is reinforced throughout with case examples and diagrams.

Summary
"Since the publication of the classic Fundamentals of Project Management almost ten years ago, membership in the Project Management Institute has grown from a few thousand to nearly 250,000. In today's time-based and cost-conscious business world, more companies are enlisting the expertise of project managers to oversee their programs. Every year, organizations lose billions of dollars on canceled or over-budget projects. Effective project management is the only way to reduce these costly errors and ensure a successful close. But how do companies guarantee that their initiatives will stay on track and under budget?" "Fundamentals of Project Management, now in its third edition, provides executives with an excellent introduction to this highly specialized, schedule-intensive discipline. Using a simple, step-by-step approach, the book shows you how to control every stage of a project, from developing the goals and objectives to managing the project team."--Jacket.

Summary
Successful projects are the basis for a successful company, but many professionals lack the basic skills required to manage projects successfully. The Project Management Toolkit guides readers through each of the four key life-cycle stages that lead to effective project management.

The books tailor these tools to meet the particular challenges faced in these sectors, which can vary considerably from the needs of the IT, customer or financial services projects that are routinely covered in other guides. Each book can be used as a stand alone guide or be combined to provide a complete and powerful PM resource. Get up and running on your project quickly and effectively: books focus one step at a time on the needs of engineering, industrial and process projects for career project managers and those involved with project intermittently Practical, hands-on guides for those tasked with capital, product development or operational projects, aligned with the industry-standard PMP body of knowledge Accompanied by online project planning and delivery tools, templates, workflow organizers and data sheets, plus check-lists, case studies and copious expert know-how.

Summary
This publication describes the application of the RAND Corporation's Portfolio Analysis and Management Method (PortMan) to the evaluation of the National Security Agency's (NSA) information dissemination program portfolio, which is managed by the NSA Information Sharing Services (ISS) division. RAND's PortMan method enables the data-driven analysis of project portfolios and provides a means to monitor the progress of potentially high-value projects. It also allows portfolio managers to monitor the impact of any mitigation strategies they undertake, ensuring that the portfolio's highest potential value is achieved. For this project, RAND researchers first employed the Delphi method, a process for eliciting group opinion by a series of questionnaires with selective feedback from earlier responses, to collect expert opinion from the ISS Senior Leadership Group. This allowed for an estimation of value and risk for each project. RAND then used these estimates, together with cost information provided by ISS, to develop project rankings and to estimate the expected value-to-cost ratio for each project. RAND selected portfolios of projects that maximized the total expected value for the available program budget using a linear programming method and compared these results to ISS management's funding priorities.

Summary
"As a project manager, you know that complicated projects are inherently risky business. Between time constraints, technical challenges, and resource difficulties, things that can go wrong often do-which is why one of the most important parts of your job is considering the possible risks involved at every point in the process." "Fully updated and consistent with the very latest Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK Guide), Identifying and Managing Project Risk takes you through every phase of a project, helping you guard against failure by improving and increasing your risk analysis capabilities.". "The book outlines proven methods for project risk planning, drawing on real-world situations and hundreds of examples - including what many once considered a truly impossible project, the Panama Canal - to demonstrate key ideas in the risk management process. You'll learn how to use high-level risk assessment tools, implement a complete system for monitoring and controlling projects, and properly document every possible consideration. The book contains sections on the different types of risk to consider when planning; how to identify key issues associated with project metrics; activity sequencing; Work Breakdown Structure (WBS);analysis of scale; and cost estimating and budgeting."--BOOK JACKET.
