From the publisher

Es ist allgemein bekannt, dass die traditionellen Methoden des Projektmanagment fr die Bewltigung der modernen Projektsituation nicht mehr ausreichen. Heute werden Projekte immer komplexer, und die Kunden geben einen immer enger gesteckten Zeitrahmen vor. Entsprechend gilt es, Probleme, wie z.B. unzureichende Planung und Risikoanalyse, unwirksame Projektberwachung und -steuerung sowie wenig fundierte nachtrgliche Analysen von vornherein zu vermeiden. Dieses Buch hilft Ihnen dabei! "Modelling Complex Projects" ist das erste Buch, das sich ausschlie lich mit dem Thema Projektmodellierung beschftigt. Es vermittelt wirkungsvolle Modellierungstechniken, die der besonderen Komplexitt moderner Projekte gerecht werden. Diskutiert wird eine breite Palette neuer Techniken, wobei auch auf ihre jeweiligen Vorteile und Kombinationsmglichkeiten eingegangen wird. Mit zahlreichen Fallstudien.

From the jacket flap

WRITTEN FROM the standpoint of a practitioner who is also an academic, all of the techniques in Modelling Complex Projects have been used in practice, and a set of examples of real life projects are used throughout the project cycle to illustrate the effects that are modelled.

Providing a broad toolkit, with an integrated development through all the tools, this book will show analysts and workers in project management how to:

  • analyse the risk in a project
  • quantify the effect of individual impacts upon a project (e.g. client changes)
  • understand the progress of a project
  • understand the behaviour of a project and the effect of management actions on the behaviour
  • carry out a project post-mortem and prepare a post-project claim
