In Breakthrough Project Management, Ian Heptinstall & Robert Bolton show you how, by combining proven innovations in project management and procurement, you can break the so-called 'Iron Triangle' of project management.
It is no longer a case of "Time, Cost Quality, choose any two".
Each of the two main elements of Breakthrough Project Management has been shown to bring step-change improvements in project durations, predictability, cost and quality.
Discover how Critical Chain Project Management reduces project durations by at least 25%, whilst at the same time increasing reliability and reducing cost.
Learn how Project Alliancing removes the commercial and contractual obstacles to establishing a truly collaborative project team across the range of suppliers and contractors involved in the project. This is key not only to exploiting Critical Chain, but to many other project improvement techniques, and to further increasing quality whilst reducing risk, cost and duration.
Do you want to be left behind as your competitors breakthrough the constraints imposed by today's "best practice" in project management?

Описание: No matter what high-tech field you work in, but particularly in software development, shortening project time is of vital importance in gaining a competitive advantage. Here’s the how-to book that describes a radical technique for doing just that. Taking an approach adopted from the motion picture industry, this innovative resource teaches you how to utilize techniques, such as “strip boarding” that greatly reduce project time and cost.
Scrum is possibly the very first thing that people think about when someone mentions Agile. It's no coincident, and this is the most frequently used framework that teams use. It provides the highest possible value for products, allows developers to quickly and decisively adapt to changes, and keeps them productive. Mostly, it's a project management super tool, and that has led to many companies using some core Scrum tools outside of software development. Scrum is very different from the other Agile methodologies in that it has a very strict framework, with specific roles and explicit events. There are rules in place, and there are right and wrong ways of handling change events.
Product Owners love Scrum because they know exactly what to expect from their software developer team even when they're entirely new to development. Working with developers, as a Product Owner, can be a struggle, to say the least. Imagine working with a team that must create a product that you could not possibly begin to put together. Scrum uses a combination of face-to-face conversation, documentation, and breaking the project into tiny parts. With this framework, there is no room for issues with communication, or for overlooking some aspect of the project. It is at its core the truest to all twelve principles of all the Agile methodologies.
This book covers the following topics:
Advantage and Benefits
Understand Scrum
Sprinting Cycle
Tools and Methodologies
Monitoring
Systems of Control in Scrum
Application of Scrum
Metrics in Scrum
How to Build a Scrum Team
None-Core Roles in Scrum
The Dynamics of an Agile Team
Is Agile Really Applied in the Modern World of Work?
Useful Resources
...And much more
Scrum does have its own set of values that coincide with the values of Agile. Scrum Values include courage, focus, commitment, respect, and openness. The Scrum values were put into effect with the goal that it was possible for any working professional to have proficiency in all of these aspects. The Product Owners and people behind the creation of the project will likely know that they want to use Scrum. That decision to use Scrum before there is technically a team in place allows them to seek out individuals that they know can deliver on the many values of Scrum and Agile. Like many other things, though, Scrum is easy to understand and hard to master. The method relies on the Product Owner, Scrum Master, and team members to all work cohesively at every step. Many people don't know how to work this way or come from backgrounds, which required silo-based work. Scrums longstanding success record is all the proof that anyone needs though to see that it works.
Scrum is the whole of the methodology, although people often use the term to refer to meetings, the team, or even the software itself. Those are incorrect because Scrum is the whole thing. It's the values, the team, the work put in, and the communication necessary for the project.
