There is often a deep disconnect between the project team's goals
and those of the organization. Senior management wants "profitable"
projects, but is only able to quantify its wishes in terms of the
traditional project management elements: schedule and cost. To
operate smoothly, the entire organization must be driven by the
single goal of project profitability. Total Project Control
presents valuable enhancements to the traditional project
management approach, introducing new metrics and techniques for
assessing the performance and profitability of projects.
Demonstrating how to maximize the business value of a project, this
book discusses new profitability-based data metrics, such as
expected monetary value (EMV), expected project profit (EPP),
Devaux's Index of Project Performance (DIPP), critical path drag,
drag cost, and the cost of leveling with unresolved bottlenecks
(CLUB). The impact of implementing these metrics can be far
reaching. Not only will good management decisions, at both the
project and executive levels, be supported by quantitative data,
but bad decisions will become harder to justify. This book shows
how to compute and use the new metrics to rightsize staffing levels
for projects, programs, and organizations. It also explains what
every project manager needs to know about earned value tracking:
its uses, abuses, value, distortions, and potential fixes. The book
then extends these metrics into techniques for indexing, tracking,
progressing, and improving the business value of projects. See
What's New in the Second Edition: Includes new diagrams and new
ways of computing critical path drag in complex networks Introduces
DIPP Performance Index tracking Offers new exercises in how to
compute critical path drag and drag cost and use them to maximize
project value Focuses on topics senior management needs to be
assured the project team is using to maximize project profitability
