Good planning is what sets apart great projects from accidents.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003ePurposeful planning is what ensures that the executive actions undertaken remain connected to the goals and outcomes expected by the stakeholders. There is no single approach to planning a project, but neither is project planning a free-for-all. This book takes you through many of the common planning situations you will meet, addressing how planning decisions alter depending on the project context.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIt also discusses how resource-constrained planning differs from end-date schedule planning.

To tell this story, we have distilled over seventy years of our combined personal experience of supporting project managers deliver, and thousands of person-years of others' practical knowledge to illustrate tools, models, and approaches that suggest what to do in what circumstances.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAlso available are supplementary materials and tools, on a website associated with the book, which we hope you find useful when you plan your next project \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Business Expert Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/13\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781948580694\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.33d","brand":"Louise M.
