Description for Modelling Complex Projects
Hardcover. It is widely acknowledged that traditional Project Management techniques are no longer sufficient, as projects become more complex and clienta s demand reduced timescales. Problems that arise include inadequate planning and risk analysis, ineffective project monitoring and control, and uninformed post--mortem analysis. Num Pages: 284 pages, Ill. BIC Classification: KJMP. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 231 x 160 x 26. Weight in Grams: 582.
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.
