Synopsis

An innovative approach to running your business

In this day of rapid change in which flexibility is vital for success, companies everywhere are looking for alternative ways to approach complex projects. The age old processes that once dominated the organizational landscape are being replaced with new more flexible ones. And a popular source of these innovations are technical fields like engineering. The dinosaurs of business will continue to do things the old way. The others will turn here for a guided tour of how to apply visual project management techniques to today′s business challenges. Forsburg and Mooz, both hailing from engineering backgrounds, offer their counterparts in the business world a complete guide to managing complex projects using their proven universal project cycle model. Presented with clarity and detail, they explore the four essential elements of successful visual project management, including common vocabulary, commitment to teamwork, project cycle plan, and management elements.

• Features graphic charts and 3D models to help readers comprehend project cycle
• Based on the successful programs the authors have developed at a wide range of companies, including AT&T, GTE, GE, IBM, 3M, Lockheed, Price Waterhouse, NASA and the CIA.
