Project Management the Agile Way -- Making it work in the enterprise
This
book is about agile methodologies seen through the looking glass
of project management in a business context John calls an
enterprise.
There are new and challenging ideas in project management, ideas especially suited for managing innovation and technology projects, particularly software projects -- projects that put ever increasing complexity in the hands of users and consumers. ‘Agile’ is the umbrella term for what we are talking about.
A motivation for this book was to address these two questions:
• When faced with unspoken or unknown requirements, is agile the answer? What confidence can a program manager have that good project results can be achieved with agile methods?
• And how applicable are agile methods to large scale projects, projects with legacy investment to protect, projects saddled with low trust, and projects needing commitment-certainty for investors and enterprise managers?

Quantitative Methods in Project Management
Every
project manager is faced with the numbers. Regardless of
methodology, whether traditional or more agile and iterative, numbers
count! This book provides heuristics for every day use of
statistics to estimate uncertainty, and it reveals the mystery of CFO's
Economic Value Add!
In this book, you will find practical advice for applying earned value, and a unique idea called time-centric earned value that is even easier! Contracts, regression analysis, and WBS estimating: it's all here!

Managing Projects in the New Age
John
Goodpasture is a contributing author to
this text. In Chapter 17, he writes about using pipelines to
make
effective measurements of earned value. Pipelining is means
to
see the flow of task deliverables and measure the earniings as they are
accumulated.
