Produktbeschreibung

Just under 10% of every dollar invested in projects is wasted. Given that the global annual investment in capital and infrastructure projects alone is more than $4 trillion, this is a staggering amount of wasted resources. One reason for this shocking level of waste is poor project dependency management. No project or organization can succeed if it suffers from lack of coordination, wasted resources, inaccurate and inefficient schedules and poor stakeholder management. Dependency management gives you the tools and the process to create realistic and effective schedules, optimize resource allocation, improve collaboration and coordination with others and build better stakeholder relationships. This book shows you exactly how to identify, plan and manage project interdependencies. It starts off by showing you the real meaning of a dependency in the project sense and shows you how to go from mapping dependencies to acting on them, so that you deliver successful projects.
