Information Technology project management has changed dramatically over recent years. Drawing on the experiences of successful project management beyond the IT industry and synergizing cutting edge research with well-established practices in the IT industry, this book prefigures the 'next normal' in IT project management.As a milestone publication, this book augments and boosts the specialized body of knowledge in IT project management by capturing and consolidating key elements of this knowledge base. Chapters are presented in four distinct sections, each examining a different aspect of IT project management which includes — generic project management methodologies; teambuilding in relation to stakeholder management; the Iron Triangle of Time, Cost, Quality, and Risk; and new and innovative technologies and software for improved project management. Substantiated case studies and practical guidelines are designed to be of value to practitioners at all levels of IT project management: from novices' to experienced practitioners, while collectively elevating the body of knowledge and skills needed. This book aims to upgrade and update the knowledge of current practice to novices; offer pointers to experienced practitioners on potential areas for improvement; and provide innovative insights to undergraduates, researchers and other academics on the development, appreciation and application of IT project management knowledge.
Based upon the author's wide experience in a broad range of projects, this invaluable book sets the scene and places rock installation in the context of the offshore industry today. This is an industry where health, safety and environmental considerations are factored in to a project with the same level of professionalism as regulatory compliance and good design. Full information is provided about planning, preparation, execution and reporting of a rock installation project. Brief but key information is provided about rock types, the nature of the seabed and the relationship between the quarry and the receiving vessel, which together form a system of turning a terrestrial geological formation into a rock berm offshore. Rock installation vessels, their characteristics, equipment and capabilities are examined in outline. This book is based upon personal experience offshore in a series of rock installation projects over the last 16 years. It covers the oil and gas sector, coastal engineering, power and telecom cable projects and draws on practice in the UK, Norwegian and Danish Exclusive Economic Zones where much rock installation takes place. The range in scale is significant, from large oil field development projects to those of a much more specialised nature such as the preparation of sites from which a jackup rig can safely operate. The marine environment is examined in some detail. The author believes that all personnel working in the offshore industry, whether at sea or in onshore positions, need to understand the harsh but majestic, hostile and often unforgiving marine environment. With a number of new operators developing both end of life and new fields, knowledge concerning SRI has been diluted or even lost. This book is a useful enabler for project staff and new client representatives offshore to have a productive rock installation experience from the initial discussions with a contractor to the final results and verification.
