Today's managers encounter tremendous resistance in getting others to buy-in to change. The ongoing rounds of downsizing and upheaval have taken their toll, leaving a legacy of skepticism. Therefore, managers must not only have ideas, but must be experts at "selling" the correct answers, information, and measurements to address issues of change. Securing the Future uses the Theory of Constraints, a breakthrough improvement methodology, to provide solutions to today's management problems.

Many organizations create nice charts with Project 2000. Few, however, create dynamic models to manage their projects. Dynamic models are easy to maintain and will continue to forecast the project until it ends. In this book, author Eric
Uyttewaal describes the guidelines for making a dynamic schedule of your project. He makes valuable recommendations, which
features to use, and how to use them - the best practices of scheduling. The summary of the book provides a checklist for
good schedules. The book comes with a CD-ROM with many examples of schedules for a wide variety of projects.

This is the first practice standard that the Project Management Institute (PMI®) has developed to complement and elaborate on the information contained in its de facto global standard for the profession, A Guide to the Project Management Body of
Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) – 2000 Edition. It provides guidance and universal principles for the initial generation, subsequent
development, and application of the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS). Successful project management uses planning techniques to
define the project objectives in sufficient detail to support effective management of the project. The WBS provides the
foundation for defining work as it relates to project objectives and establishes the structure for managing the work to its
completion. Each descending level of a WBS represents an increasingly detailed definition of the project work.

Project sponsors can have a tremendous impact on the success of key projects. However, in reality, they miss the mark and are often uninvolved or over-involved and confused about their roles. The purpose of this guide is to help managers add value as
sponsors of cross-functional projects; including development projects, information system projects, organizational change
projects, and process improvement projects.

In Quantifying the Value of Project Management, William Ibbs and Justin Reginato, from the University of California at Berkeley, explore real-world data from 52 U.S. corporations and find the key to a high return on investment. It is project
management maturity. Mature project management departments have more on-time, under-budget projects; less variable schedules and expenses; and decreased cost ratios. Project management maturity benefits extend to the parent company where Dr. Ibbs finds lower utilization rates, higher production rates and lower operating costs. Dr. Ibbs shows how to assess project management maturity and track its development. If you are looking for a comeback to those who want proof of project management’s corporate value, Quantifying the Value of Project Management lays out all the evidence you need.
