Cost and Value Management in Projects (2nd Edition) – eBook

The project manager’s guide to achieving cost efficiency and value optimization is thoroughly updated with new cases, examples, and problem sets. The newly revised and updated Cost and Value Management in Projects, 2nd Edition, (PDF) provides project managers with a thorough understanding of the various dimensions of cost and value in projects, the factors that impact them, and the managerial approaches for achieving cost efficiency and value optimization. Whereas most cost management ebooks discuss the topic from a tactical perspective, such as through the use of simple budgeting or Earned Value Analysis, this Second Edition addresses cost from a strategic perspective, examining project management decision areas that have the potential to enhance value and providing an integrated framework for managing cost. The updated 2nd Edition includes updates to key topic areas such as project benefits realization, updated end-of-chapter exercises such as discussion questions and problem sets, updated case studies, and new spreadsheet analytic techniques and examples. Written by two highly qualified authors with significant experience in the field, Cost and Value Management in Projects 2E includes information on:

• Attainment of value in complex environmental settings and benefits of effective project management
• Organization strategy and project selection, organization structure and culture, project definition (and contracts), and estimating project times and cost
• Developing project plans and schedules, managing risk, scheduling resources and cost, reducing project duration, performance measurement, leadership, and project closure
• Value management through value planning, engineering, and analysis from the perspective of projects, and best practices on how to avoid common pitfalls in managing cost and value
