Risk and Earned Value

Risk and Earned Value

Val Jonas; Lauren Bone

Gower Publishing Ltd

sidottu
Risk management and earned value are useful complementary tools for managing cost and schedule slippage in projects. EVM has been used to measure cost and schedule variance but it doesn't enable the user to predict likely variances. Risk management is used to identify and handle potential risk but may not help users understand the exact consequences of a risk that is realized. Val Jonas and Lauren Bone's Risk and Earned Value is the first book to pick up on the increasing trend for integrating these two disciplines. The authors provide guidance on both disciplines to enable the risk manager or the EV practitioner to understand each other's disciplines. They then explore how to optimise risk and EV during the project life cycle and show how EV and Risk together support projects in delivering business objectives. The authors include plenty of worked examples of the methods being used and provide an international perspective that looks at project management practice in Australia, the US and Europe and recognizes the increasingly global nature of project and programme management.

Excerpt from WHY NOT YOU? How to Become an EMPOWERED Woman "You have a powerful mind. You are entitled to have meaningful work, excellent health, financial independence, and happy relationships. You have untapped talent and extraordinary ability within you and once you believe you do, you will be able to achieve everything you could ever want in life. Once you change your thinking and circumstances your life will change forever." WHY NOT YOU? How To Become An EMPOWERED Woman is, what else, empowering. Val inspires and encourages WOMEN across the world to let go of fear and to recognize challenges as opportunities and possibilities. Her own journey, working on the farm as a child, walking to school two miles each way, working in a factory at 16 years old while going to school at night and then leaving her family and friends behind moving across the globe on her own in pursuit for a better life, reminds all of us that anything is possible.

From the moment her husband Andrew announced, "Honey, I've got blood in my stool," to the day ten years later when she bought popcorn for her wedding to James, Val realized that constantly managing her expectations was her new normal. She fought cancer with Andrew and was widowed at thirty-seven with three sons aged eight, five, and three. She was forced to grieve while living in the fishbowl communities she loved: her church, her Boston neighborhood of Jamaica Plain, and families on both sides. She also grappled with being single for practically the first time in her adult life. As she muddled her way through single life and parenting, she found that humor, loved ones' help, connecting with God, and a creative survival mentality set her on the path of a fulfilling transition. This book is intended for those in grief who don't mind laughing and for those supporting them who accept the messy mix of the two. In an increasingly post-religious America, Val also attempts to explore how faith can find active expression, without tying up every question into a neat answer. Those who believe in the power of community support will recognize their values in the details of what Val found to be a most essential survival tool: other people.
