http://m.alilyaflix.site/?book=8799328313
Projects rarely takes place as foreseen. Delay and budget overrun are the rule rather than the exemption besides the project not often yielding the expected value. Construction has long been famous for its bad performance, but these days IT-projects set a new and unprecedented standard. The world is rish in litterature on project management, systems for its control and consultant eager to assist, but seemingly witout any impact on the project's own performance But Why? Seek the Know-Why and the know-how will come by itself, says the author inspired by Japanese Shigeo Shingo, and so he does. In his book he unfolds his understanding of the project's nature and offer a new approach to its management, based on his Value-Flow-Operations theory, in an easy to read and understand - and often entertaining - form. The book is a pioneer work where the author, based upon more than fifty years' professional work with projects combines his own experience with inspiration form fields as different as hydraulics, complex systems theory, chaos, social sciences and war, along with reasearch in lean construction. Basically we have not understood the project's true nature, is his provocative hypothesis, and therefore it so often is out of control. It is the fundamental assumption that all can be planned and that the plans then can be followed, we have to give up. Plans are never followed, not because of bad planning, but because plans can never be followed in real life, is his provocative statement before proposing a lean approah to better project mangement, an approach that works!
