Book on "Dynamic Scheduling": Out Now!

Since a few weeks, the book "Project Management with dynamic scheduling: baseline scheduling, risk analysis and project control" written by Mario Vanhoucke is published by Springer. The content of the book can be summarized in five main parts:

  • Project scheduling without resources: The use of CPM and PERT techniques as well as schedule risk analysis.
  • Project scheduling with resources: A description of various resource-constrained project scheduling algorithms and critical chain/buffer management topics.
  • Project control: An extensive overview of Earned Value Management and all its extentions.
  • Scheduling with software: A reference to the third release of our ProTrack software tool was one of the main drivers to write this book.
  • Conclusions: Overall conclusions are drawn and future research paths are highlighted. Stuff for a next book? Who knows?
