Wysocki adapts the capability maturity model for software development to develop a project management maturity model and define nine knowledge areas. He then presents a survey instrument for data collection to establish a maturity baseline and several tools for identifying improvement opportunities, such as cost schedule control, milestone trend charts, the forced ranking model, the risk matrix, and a weighted criteria model. The closing chapters outline the structure on a project overview statement and provide a continuous improvement program case study. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Hardback. Condition: New. Illustrated. No matter how perfect a project plan may be on paper, it is worthless if nobody actually uses it. This truism is an everyday reality for too many project managers who muster all their expertise writing the "perfect" plan only to watch the project fall off course as team members jettison the plan to follow their own agenda. This book culls the best practices from CMM (Capability Maturity Model) and PMBOK (Project Management Body of Knowledge), the de-facto standards for process improvement and project management, to show project managers how to ensure that their project plans are not only perfect on paper but also perfect in practice. Professionals learn how to identify the underlying reasons why projects fall to progress as planned and discover the steps to creating a solid process improvement program that leads to project success.
