Construction Scheduling with Primavera Project Planner (2nd Edition) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book provides an overview of the scheduling process first.Then, the author starts to tie P3 into puzzle.The end result is that you have resource that you can read from start to finish, and also use it as areference once you have finished reading the book.The author also toucheson many of the advanced capabilities of P3.I am somewhat biased towardthis book.The author is the one who actually taught me how to use P3while developing this book.He teaches a class on scheduling at TexasA&M University.I am currently recommending my coworkers who areinvolved in scheduling to read this book.I would highly recommend it toanyone involved in scheduling with P3 or Suretrak.We have had greatsuccess with teaching our project managers how to use P3 using this book. The first part of the book is usefull for project managers who are notinvolved in P3 "hands-on", but who are involved in projects thatuse P3.It helps the project managers understand the scheduling process. It also helps the project scheduler because the project manager isproviding better feedback.

Managing Projects: A Team-Based Approach with Student CD (The Mcgraw-Hill/Irwin Series Operations and Decision Sciences) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm a lawyer turned businessman. As I've discovered, project management is synonymous with managing a business. EVERYTHING is a project. So I've been doing lots of project management reading. Lots of great materials out there but perhaps none as practical as this one (I admit to not having read every one-- though I must be getting close). Authors Brown and Hyer have offered an accessible guide for managing projects of all types. The books shows how to ask the right questions at the front end, clearly define the project, involve the team in planning, and apply just enough of the technical tools to suit the situation. I especially like the way they combined traditional methods, team-based tools, and leadership dimensions of project work - no other book seems to do this so effectively. Definitely a valuable addition to my executive library. I keep it close.

Product Description:
Students today are likely to be assigned to project teams or to be project managers almost immediately in their first job.Managing Projects: A Team-Based Approach was written for a wide range of stakeholders, including project managers, project team members, support personnel, functional mangers who provide resources for projects, project customers (and customer representatives), project sponsors, project subcontractors, and anyone who plays a role in the project delivery process.The need for project management is on the rise as product life cycles compress, demand for IT systems increases, and business takes on an increasingly global character.This book adds to the project management knowledge base in a way that fills an unmet need-it shows how teams can apply many of the standard project management tools, as well as several tools that are relatively new to the field.Managing Projects: A Team-Based Approach offers the academic rigor found in most textbooks along with the practical attributes often found more often in trade/professional publications.
