Book Description

0471899453 978-0471899457 December 15, 2001 1
It is widely acknowledged that traditional Project Management techniques are no longer sufficient, as projects become more complex and client's demand reduced timescales. Problems that arise include inadequate planning and risk analysis, ineffective project monitoring and control, and uninformed post-mortem analysis. Effective modelling techniques, which capture the complexities of such projects, are therefore necessary for adequate project management. This book looks at those issues, describes some modelling techniques, then discusses their merits and possible synthesis.
* This is the only project management book that deals with Project Modelling.
* Features case studies throughout.
* Places the various approaches to Project Modelling within a coherent framework, and gives an objective overview.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“…provides a lot of useful information about model building in general.” (Project Net, April 2004)

"...an essential resource for those required to model how a project may behave under certain circumstances..." (Jnl of the Operation Research Society, Vol 54(12), 2004)

"...well conceived, well written, and well produced..." (Chemistry World, 1 Feb 2004)

From the Inside Flap

WRITTEN FROM the standpoint of a practitioner who is also an academic, all of the techniques in Modelling Complex Projects have been used in practice, and a set of examples of real life projects are used throughout the project cycle to illustrate the effects that are modelled.

Providing a broad toolkit, with an integrated development through all the tools, this book will show analysts and workers in project management how to:

  • analyse the risk in a project

  • quantify the effect of individual impacts upon a project (e.g. client changes)

  • understand the progress of a project

  • understand the behaviour of a project and the effect of management actions on the behaviour

  • carry out a project post-mortem and prepare a post-project claim
