Delayed completion affects IT, process plant, oil and gas, civil engineering, shipbuilding and marine work contracts. In fact it affects all industries in all countries and the bigger the project, the more damage delayed completion causes to costs, to reputation and sometimes, even to the survival of the contracting parties themselves. In simple projects, time can be managed intuitively by any reasonably competent person, but complex projects cannot and a more analytical approach is necessary if the project is to succeed. Although much has been written about how to apportion liability for delay after a project has gone wrong there was, until recently, no guidance on how to manage time pro-actively and effectively on complex projects. In 2008, the CIOB embarked upon a 5-year strategy to provide standards, education, training and accreditation in time management. The first stage, this Guide to Good Practice in Managing Time in Complex Projects, sets down the process and standards to be achieved in preparing and managing the time model. As a handbook for practitioners it uses logical step by step procedures and examples from inception and risk appraisal, through design and construction to testing and commissioning, to show how an effective and dynamic time model can be used to manage the risk of delay to completion of construction projects.

The Oxford Handbook of Project Management presents and discusses leading ideas in the management of projects. Positioning project management as a domain much broader and more strategic than simply 'execution management', this Handbook draws on the insights of over 40 scholars to chart the development of the subject over the last 50 years or more as an area of increasing practical and academic interest. It suggests we could be entering an emerging 'third wave' of analysis and interpretation following its early technical and operational beginnings and the subsequent shift to a focus on projects and their management. Topics dealt with include: the historical evolution of the subject; its theoretical base; professionalism; business and societal context; strategy; organization; governance; innovation; overruns; risk; information management; procurement; relationships and trust; knowledge management; practice and teams. This handbook is of particular relevance to those interested in the research issues underlying project management.

Architecture Live Projects provides a persuasive, evidence-based advocacy for moving a particular kind of architectural learning, known as Live Projects, towards a holistic integration into current and future architectural curricula. Live Projects are work completed in the borderlands between architectural education and built environment practice; they include design/build work, community-based design, urban advocacy consulting and a host of other forms and models described by the book’s international group of authors. Because of their position, Live Projects as vehicle for simultaneously providing teaching and service has the potential to recalibrate the contesting claims that both academia and profession make to architecture. This collection of essays and case studies consolidates current discussions on theory and learning ambitions, academic best practices, negotiation with licensure and accreditation, and considerations of architectural integrity. It is an invaluable resource to current and future Live Projects advocates – whether they aim to move from pedagogy into practice or practice into pedagogy.

Risk Management in Portfolios, Programs, and Projects: A Practice Guide presents updated and expanded strategies for the management of risks in portfolio, program, and project planning.This new practice guide introduces practical knowledge, examples, and a working case study to serve as an example of how risk management can be addressed, given the fact that certain events or conditions— whether expected or unforeseen during the planning process— may occur, with potential impacts on portfolio, program, and project objectives. Risk impacts can be positive or negative, and may cause deviation from the intended objectives. Risk management processes allow for proactive planning to help maximize positive impacts and minimize negative impacts for organizations. This practice guide:• Identifies and elaborates upon the core principles of risk management;• Describes the fundamentals of risk management within portfolio, program, and project environments, respectively;• Defines the risk management life cycle;• Applies risk management principles to the respective portfolio, program, and project management performance domains within the context of an enterprise risk management (ERM) approach, using working examples and a full case study to help make connections; and• Contains information for practitioners applying risk management techniques, tools, processes, and good practices while executing a portfolio, program, or project management plan. Risk Management in Portfolios, Programs, and Projects: A Practice Guide is aligned as a supplemental resource to the latest PMI American National Standards Institute (ANSI)-approved standards and A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK&® Guide)— Seventh Edition. The content in this practice guide reflects a consistent approach across the PMI Risk Management Professional (PMI-RMP)&® certification and other PMI learning products.
