That’s the title of my new article, just up at my blog.
One of the readers of my blog posted a question in the Comments with respect to a metric I had mentioned in passing:
“DIPP tracking. What is it and where can I learn more about it?”
Motivated by a discussion on a LinkedIn project management group, I just posted a new blog “Why Do We Plan Projects?” It makes the case that projects must be planned using such flexible techniques as work breakdown structures, value breakdown structures, critical path analysis, activity-based resource assignments, etc. NOT because we know what is going to happen, but because we don’t! And that such a plan becomes most valuable when variances demand a change in plan.

I just published a new blog post “Estimating the Cost of Time When Ain’t Nobody Told Ya!” at the Total Project Control website.
This new blog shows how, given only budget and “deadline” instructions, a project manager can do some back-of-the-envelope calculations to generate conservative estimates about the cost of time.
Hii All..
please soggest me how to filter out all such actvitiies which having over allocated resources for any project?
I just published a new blog post “Time Is a Cost Even When Nobody Says How Much” at the Total Project Control website. The new blog explains to that even when the sponsor/customer doesn’t recognize the value/cost of time and/or doesn’t know how to incorporate it in a contract or charter, this information is still of particular value to the project manager.
The new blog explains to whom the value of time on a project is most important, and who therefore should ensure this metric is available and used. It also explains why this information is so important for project managers whose skill in time management can combine with such data to demonstrate and quantify the value they add to a project.
