Turning Iron into Gold!

"Turning Iron into Gold!"

How to unite and monetize the three sides of the Triple Constraint Model. Blog #2 at the TPC site shows how to update an old project management cliche into an integrated metric that helps plan and manage a project as an investment.

Fraternally in project management,

What’s Next For Your PMO?

Every company’s Project Management Office is slightly different. The functions that your PMO provides depends on where the unit sits within the business, what resources it controls and how much responsibility it has. PMOs can range from small one-person enterprises with a mainly admin outlook to large strategic international teams advising the company’s Board members. Read more here http://ow.ly/DsxbO

Beta-reader

Need 2-3 beta readers of a narrative non-fiction presentation of project management tools and techniques. Book is ~100K words (21 Chapters) 62 exhibits/figures. Format is .docx, but could easily be any eBook format (ePub, mobi, etc.). Reader would be reviewing for content not grammar (accuracy, relevance, cogency). Prefer PMs with process capital project experience (Oil & Gas/petro-chemical). Please send PM if interested.  Thank you.

How to get the project back on track and make these people to work faster

Hi,
This is a common practice in the Middle East that the contractors work for (8 + 2) 10 hours a day 6 days a week and the extra two hour are compulsory.
• The senior staff of almost all the contractors is not getting paid for the overtime but compensation, sometimes.
• Some contractors pay overtime for the (compulsory) extra two hours daily to the staff (the engineers, foremen and draftsmen etc.).
• The labors also restricted up to a certain number of hours and beyond that limit they don’t get paid as well.
