Summary:

This book introduces a new and better way of planning, estimating, and managing projects that corrects some of the fundamental flaws found in the Critical Path Method (CPM). It presents the author's revolutionary Dynamic Progress Method (DPM), including instructions on how to use the accompanying DPM-based simulation tool called pmBLOX (provided) to build and analyze project plans. It revolutionizes project planning and management by bringing the computational integrity of planning simulation up to speed with today's computer user-friendliness-- Provided by publisher.
