The Data-Driven Project Manager, 1st ed. A Statistical Battle Against Project Obstacles
Auteur : Vanhoucke Mario
- Baseline Scheduling: Plan the project activities to create a project timetable with time and budget restrictions. Determine start and finish times of each project activity within the activity network and resource constraints. Know the expected timing of the work to be done as well as an expected impact on the project?s time and budget objectives.
- Schedule Risk Analysis: Analyze the risk of the baseline schedule and its impact on the project?s time and budget. Use Monte Carlo simulations to assess the risk of the baseline schedule and to forecast the impact of time and budget deviations on the project objectives.
- Project Control: Measure and analyze the project?s performance data and take actions to bring the project on track. Monitor deviations from the expected project progress and control performance in order to facilitate the decision-making process in case corrective actions are needed to bring projects back on track. Both traditional Earned Value Management (EVM) and the novel Earned Schedule (ES) methods are used.
- Implement a data-driven project management methodology (also known as "dynamic scheduling") which allows project managers to plan, monitor, and control projects while delivering them on time and within budget
- Study different project management tools and techniques, such as PERT/CPM, schedule risk analysis (SRA), resource buffering, and earned value management (EVM)
- Understand the three aspects of dynamic scheduling: baseline scheduling, schedule risk analysis, and project control

Structured as a novel, this book provides real-time simulations of how project managers can solve common project obstacles
Teaches a data-driven project management methodology which allows project managers to plan, monitor, and control projects while delivering them on time and within budget
Focuses on integration of three crucial aspects: baseline scheduling, schedule risk analysis, and project control
Presents different project management planning tools and techniques, such as PERT/CPM, to compare the expected risk of two very similar projects
