Essential strategies from Harold Kerzner on measuring project
management performance
The maze-like path of today''s projects reflects a business
environment that''s growing in complexity. Factors influencing
projects, such as new advancements in computer technology, an
unpredictable economy, and the increase in stakeholder involvement
make metrics and key performance indicators KPI for project
management an important focus. Such measures are commonly used to
help an organization define and evaluate how successful it is,
typically, in terms of making progress towards its long-term
organizational goals.
Project Management Metrics, KPIs, and Dashboards helps functional
managers gain a thorough understanding of what metrics are and how
they can be best implemented to gain traction in a fast-paced and
diverse working atmosphere. With content aligned with PMI''s
PMBOK Guide, this book offers extensive coverage on KPIs
and how they may be monitored, using techniques such as business
dashboards to assist in prescribing meaningful business strategies.
After reading this book, functional managers will bolster their
awareness of what good metrics management really entails—and be
armed with the knowledge to measure performance more
effectively.
This book begins with basic KPI principles, helping functional
managers deal with such key issues as:
Successfully integrating KPIs and metrics into managing a project
within a business strategy
Important business dashboard techniques used in monitoring
performance
What is really important to different stakeholders in a
project
Managing resistance to change
Next the book explores the key questions to ask before
implementing a dashboard or reporting system. Some of these
questions include:
What are your needs?
What is involved in integration?
What''s involved in operations and maintenance?
What does the system cost?
How long will the system last?
Throughout the book, helpful illustrations clarify complex
concepts and processes. These illustrations are also available as
PowerPoint slides for course and seminar presentations.
