Download or read book Avoiding Archaeological Disasters written by Darby C Stapp and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-07-01 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You think it can’t happen to you, but it can. One day, months into your construction project, your front end load operator runs into bones and wooden slats. Your county coroner says it is not a crime scene, and refers you to the local archaeology department. The archaeologist tells you that it is a very important discovery. Work stops. Archaeological discoveries happen all the time in the course of projects. Most are manageable, some are less so, and some are mismanaged, wasting time and money. If you are not prepared, the consequences can be disastrous. This book is for project engineers, project managers, construction managers, the staff of affected government agencies, and archaeological consultants. In its pages you receive enough information, enough archaeological perspective, to intelligently work with the various parties involved in your project and avoid an archaeological disaster.

Download or read book Before and After the Project Starts written by MBA PMP Charles E. Moone and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2017-12-18 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A complex world surrounds the project team. Led by a project manager and judged by the board of directors, executives, customers, and employees, it would be tempting to ask why anyone would choose to work within such an environment, let alone encourage and lead the organization on a potentially perilous road. The answer is simple - there is great joy in working with the talented and able participants engaged in a project while pursuing and satisfying the organization's needs. Prescribed procedures are part of project management. It is these procedures that provide stepping stones from where we are today and what we want and expect to be tomorrow. Many procedures and best practices are based on A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge and ISO 21500, Guidance on Project Management. These guides provide best practices and international standards as well as frameworks that are coupled with steps that should be followed to effectively implement the best practices. However, neither guide discusses how to ensure that people will welcome the results of a project with open arms and embrace wholeheartedly the impact that has been imposed on them. Since people are involved in these projects, their behavior and well-being must be provided for - especially when environmental and procedural changes are being made. Ignoring the psychological and emotional impact on people may result in project failure. It is the project manager's responsibility to examine, understand, and implement best practices, determine the level at which a best practice is used, and accommodate the physical and mental needs of people affected by the projects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Be better at getting things done. Bet better at delivering projects in your personal and professional life. Gorilla Theory is a new set of principles that aims to help anybody involved with or managing a project to better understand their role in the project and to be more adept at handling their tasks and workload, and managing the project's delivery, and being more alert for the issues that may arise in any project. It works as a framework that relies upon checklists and personal check gateways, ensuring that the constituents of a project never are defined as correctly as possible (from project initiation to 'when needed') and do not get too out of control in a project that is already underway.

With real-world examples of what works, what doesn’t, and why, Rescue the Problem Project offers the tools you need to ensure your project is one of the select few to experience major success.

Download or read book Preventing Earthquake Disasters: The Grand Challenge in Earthquake Engineering written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2003-12-07 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES), administered by the National Science Foundation (NSF), is scheduled to become operational in 2004. These network sites will perform a range of experiments to test and validate complex computer models being developed to simulate the behavior of structures subjected to earthquakes. To assist in this effort, the NSF requested the National Research Council(NRC) to frame the major questions to be addressed by and to develop a long-term research agenda for NEES. Preventing Earthquake Disasters presents an overview of the grand challenge including six critical research problems making up that challenge. The report also provides an assessment of earthquake engineering research issues and the role of information technology in that research effort, and a research plan for NEES.
