"Are you new to the project sponsor role or want to improve? This book's practical guidance will help you successfully fulfill your role. We understand you are time-challenged. This book is short, direct, and focuses on the most common project issues. The book's guidance is helpful for projects of all sizes and across all sectors. The fundamental questions apply to projects from strip mining to large public works projects and even your weekend warrior home renovation projects. We think that Tolstoy would agree that all happy projects are alike, while unhappy projects are unhappy in their unique ways. We begin the book with a brief assessment to help you understand your project's risks. You can complete the warp-speed project assessment in a few minutes. By completing the assessment, you will understand the topics that need more attention to reduce the project's shortcomings and increase its likelihood of success. We recommend practical actions you can champion to position the project for success for each topic. The book describes the most common project topics that can contribute to either project success or failure. The topics cover a wide range of situations. The suggested actions can be scaled down easily and adapted for smaller projects. Completing the warp-speed project assessment will assess your project's risks and better understand the topics that need more attention. With our practical actions, you can champion the project for success. We've grouped the topics into the typical project phases found in A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK Guide), published by the Project Management Institute (PMI). We also use the PMBOK terminology throughout the book and provide cross-references to the PMBOK Guide. These book features will facilitate your communication with your team because it is often familiar with the PMBOK Guide."--

This book focuses on fundamental and applied research on construction project management. It presents research papers and practice-oriented papers. The execution of construction projects is specific and particularly difficult because each implementation is a unique, complex, and dynamic process that consists of several or more subprocesses that are related to each other, in which various aspects of the investment process participate. Therefore, there is still a vital need to study, research, and conclude the engineering technology and management applied in construction projects. This book present unanimous research approach is a result of many years of studies, conducted by 35 well experienced authors. The common subject of research concerns the development of methods and tools for modeling multi-criteria processes in construction engineering.
