This book is a “how-to” manual for those struggling to get their projects under control as well as for new project managers looking who need a holistic view of project management.
Download or read book An Elegant Puzzle written by Will Larson and published by Stripe Press. This book was released on 2019-05-20 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A human-centric guide to solving complex problems in engineering management, from sizing teams to handling technical debt. There’s a saying that people don’t leave companies, they leave managers. Management is a key part of any organization, yet the discipline is often self-taught and unstructured. Getting to the good solutions for complex management challenges can make the difference between fulfillment and frustration for teams—and, ultimately, between the success and failure of companies. Will Larson’s An Elegant Puzzle focuses on the particular challenges of engineering management—from sizing teams to handling technical debt to performing succession planning—and provides a path to the good solutions. Drawing from his experience at Digg, Uber, and Stripe, Larson has developed a thoughtful approach to engineering management for leaders of all levels at companies of all sizes. An Elegant Puzzle balances structured principles and human-centric thinking to help any leader create more effective and rewarding organizations for engineers to thrive in.
Download or read book Project Management for Engineers and Construction written by Garold D. Oberlender and published by McGraw-Hill Science/Engineering/Math. This book was released on 2000-01-25 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to present the principles and techniques of project management, beginning with the conceptual phase by the owner, through coordination of design and construction, to project completion. Throughout this book the importance of management skills is emphasized to enable the user to develop his or her own style of project management. The focus is to apply project management at the beginning of a project, when it is first approved. Too often the formal organization to manage a project is not developed until the beginning of the construction phase. This book presents the information that must be assembled and managed during the development and engineering design phase to bring a project to successful completion by the owner.

Download or read book Performance Measurement and Management for Engineers written by Michela Arnaboldi and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2014-09-08 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Performance Measurement and Management for Engineers introduces key concepts in finance, accounting, and management to project managers who have engineering backgrounds. It focuses these basic concepts on issues of measuring and managing enterprise value. Thus, after defining enterprise value, the book begins by explaining the ways and means of measurement. It then takes up financial measurement, describing and analyzing the typologies of financial indicators while illustrating their advantages and disadvantages. After focusing on measuring enterprise value, the second section takes up managing that value. Like the first, it pursues a double view: using indicators for internal control while employing them to analyze other companies. If engineering project managers possess a source of quantitative and qualitative information about business management, Performance Measurement and Management for Engineers will help them increase their contributions to the business. Explains how main performance indicators are related to the value of the company Reveals how to assess the financial needs of companies in relation to their financial goals and mechanisms (e.g., equity, debt, and hybrid) Describes key information and indicators for assessing the ability of enterprises to create value across time Indicates the profitability sources of different business units

Download or read book Business Management for Engineers written by Alan C Tribble and published by . This book was released on 2018-03-25 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Business Management for Engineers will help anyone with a technical background understand, and appreciate, the business side of the engineering profession. This book is intended to make you more successful as an engineer by giving you a better understanding of how organizations conduct business. Mastery of a technical skill is quite fulfilling, but if you want to be more than a technical contributor you must know how to work within the business constraints as well. If we define engineering to be the application of science, then business is the application of economics. We'll go a step further and define engineering to be the application of science to develop new products or services that are "useful"; and business to be the application of economics to develop new products or services that are "profitable." A product may be of interest to a great many people, but if the business providing it is not profitable, the business will lose money and, barring financial subsidies, will go out of business - so the product will disappear from the market. Similarly, a product may generate world class profits, but if the product is not useful - if it does not add value to the buyer - no one will buy it, so again the product will disappear from the market. Engineering and business, go hand in hand. To be truly successful, engineers must develop products that are both useful AND profitable. This book will help anyone with a technical background appreciate the business aspect to the project you are supporting. Even if you work for a "not for profit" business, any project you will be assigned to will have a budget and schedule. Exceed the budget and the business must cut other projects to pay for the overrun. Fall past due on the schedule, and the business will have to find a way to make up the lost time - maybe by cutting other projects. There is always a business aspect to any engineering project. Business Management for Engineers will help technical professionals understand how to balance business success with technical excellence.
