Managing Complex Projects

Advanced Techniques for Strategic Programs & Projects.

	by Dick Billows, PMP Quantity :
	Managing Complex Projects is devoted to large strategic projects & programs that span organizational boundaries and aim at strategic business results for clients and users.  You learn these techniques as you follow a customer service and profitability through its lifecycle.  Table of Contents and sample pages

We begin by identifying the business problems and working with client/user executives to define business benefits they want and transform them in to a scope statement you can use to control the project. 

• Learn to develop requirements so that delivery can proceed with a high probability of success. 
• Motivate a high performance project team with both technical and user personnel. 
• Develop clear assignments for your team so they know what is expected before they start and so that executives can unambiguously track progress and changes. 
• Learn to use risk statistics to assess and mitigate risk as well as alternative techniques for precise work estimating. 
• Develop and present professional level "4-corners trade-offs," using PM software to model alternatives so client/user executives have the information necessary to exercise strategic level control over the project. 
• Master techniques for portfolio management and processes for the multi-project environment. Read sample chapter in PDF. Soft cover, 372 pages, $65.00.
