Project Scheduling and Cost Control | Book Series

Overview: 

Schedule and cost control are the key elements of successful project management. Yet, over 80% of all projects start with underestimated schedules and costs and are doomed to exceed projections before they begin. This clear and concise book demonstrates how to establish realistic estimates for successful project completion. It illustrates how to control a project’s schedule and costs, but more importantly, it shows the reader how to develop the project’s plans and processes so that controlling the schedule and costs are achievable goals.

Parallel Development | Glossary

Definition: 

Parallel development occurs when there is a need for separate development paths to diverge from a common starting point, so that there is no longer a single “latest and greatest” version.  Such characteristics determine how the object version is evaluated during an update. The properties that distinguish parallel object versions from each other are called parallel development properties.
