CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

Good on scheduleing, not good on planning -
The technical treatment of schedule development was very thorough - from development, precedence diagrams, durations, resource allocation, and money and earned value. The short interval and linear schedules, which are not coverd by most books, provided an additional real world perspective. Although computer scheduling was covered, the focus remained on the therory and method that drives these programs - a welcome relief from " just learn the software program approach".

The treatment of planning was virtually nonexistant. The whole approach of the book was to carefullly organize a schedule that documents the previously decided inputs to provide the resulting output. Planning, using the scheduling tools to reorganize the imputs to get closer to a desired result, was not discussed. It is this planning that can provide the powerful benefits of the scheduling effort.Choosing Project Success - A Guide for Building Professionals
