Book Description
This introduction for practitioners offers a balanced view of project financing, integrating legal, contractual, scheduling, and other areas that participate in large multiparty projects, large single-asset purchases, and broad-based financing programs for fleets of assets. It mixes theories and case studies but avoids becoming too oriented toward applications in any one particular industry. It focuses on the concepts and techniques required by project finance people without being overly academic or beset by case studies. The author, who has a legal background, recognizes that some legal information is necessary, but he doesn't attempt to write a law book.
Project Finance refers to the techniques of financing projects which are dependent on cash flows for repayment, as defined by the contractual relationships within each project. By their very nature, these types of projects rely on a large number of integrated contractual arrangements for successful completion and operation. Project finance is an element within the larger field of project management. Many organizations around the world utilize project management to enable innovative processes, to plan, organize, and control strategic initiatives, to monitor enterprise performance, to analyze significant deviations, and to forecast their impact on the organization and project(s). Project management can be found in many industries today, from construction and information systems to healthcare, financial services, education, and training.
Key Features:
-A comprehensive and authoritative guide to the theory and practice of project finance.
-An international scope, covering projects in both the developed and developing worlds.
-The book describes and explains:
-Sources of project finance.
-Typical commercial contracts (such as those for construction of the project and sale of its product or services) and their impact on the project finance structure.
-Project finance risk assessment from the points of view of lenders, investors, and other project parties.
-Structuring the project finance debt.
-The key issues in negotiating a project finance debt facility.
-Extensive glossary and cross-referencing.
-No prior knowledge of project finance or financing techniques is assumed.

Book Description
Today’s new breed, eXtreme projects are different. They feature high speed, high change, high complexity, high risk, and high stress. While traditional projects follow the classic model of ready, aim, fire, eXtreme project managers succeed by shooting the gun and then redirecting the bullet while not loosing sight of their moving target. eXtreme Project Management provides a practical guide for leaders working under high risk and high pressure while producing the desired bottom-line results. Based on Doug DeCarlo’s extensive experience in working with more than 250 project teams, his eXtreme project management model is built around an integrated set of principles, values, skills, tools, and practices proven to consistently work under conditions of rapid change and uncertainty. eXtreme project management is based on the premise that you don’t manage the unknown the same way you manage the known. It’s a people-centric approach to high performance that makes quality of life a fundamental part of the project venture.

Extreme project management is a complete misnomer here!!.......2006-06-17
What DeCarlo describes is not in any way an extreme project management approach but a common sense process of dealing with the insanity of the expectations for many contemporary projects. DeCarlo has great insight and sound advice on how people and processes must adapt to the business and technical requirements of modern projects.
Unfortunately, he overly chides and unceremoniously puts down the traditional "Newtonians" and their traditional planning and change aversion but somewhat begrudgingly recognizes their proper place in the long history and wide spectrum of projects, i.e., "you don't use eXtreme project management to shutdown a nuclear power plant for maintenance."
I think DeCarlo could have make his points without some of the denigrating remarks about traditional project management and managers, particularly, PMPs. He is certainly not unique with this tact among other non-traditional project management authors in the agile software development camp. Leading both traditional and extreme projects and even some which have both concurrent elements, I have found projects dictate their own approach as DeCarlo suggests in the final chapter.
His section on leadership and self-mastery is the keystone and guiding light of the book, a book which DeCarlo confesses is not about project management but about making a difference in an eXtreme world. This section alone is worth the price of the book. This book is really about leading people not managing projects.
One disappointment is DeCarlo's simplified two step prescription for the organizational transition from the traditional to the eXtreme process. He seems to abandon his own protocol on how to plan and execute the transition which should be the first eXtreme project to be undertaken. He seems to take the "Nike" approach to "just do it" by just adopting the Flexible Project Model and applying JIT project management to a few real projects. I have never worked in an organization, traditional or extreme, where it is this simple to implement fundamental changes without getting the buy-in that DeCarlo emphasizes throughout his book. Perhaps, in the next edition, DeCarlo will expand this section and give us some additional insights of how to make the organizational transition using the eXtreme project management approach.
Overall, DeCarlo has written a witty, insightful and common sense approach to eXtreme projects that just may work if you achieve self mastery, demonstrate courage and convince stakeholders to go along. It should be required reading for all students and practioneers of project management and others who are charged with constructively changing themselves and eventually the world.
Excellent, timely and a new addition to your permanent reference shelf.......2005-09-24
This excellent book dramatically advances the start-of-the-art in agile project management. It goes well beyond any other book on the subject, covering such new ground as how to work with stakeholders, how to assess whether projects are worth doing, how to create a useful plan, and how to work with senior management.
Unlike many agile books, this book is not specifically about software development. It is applicable to any product development effort. I'm a software professional, but everything in the book was relevant and interesting to me. Regardless of what type of product development you are doing, I recommend this book very highly.
This is not a book you'll read and file away. It will become a standard reference for years to come.
Better than most, relates well to non-technical projects too.......2005-08-23
There is little I can add to the positive reviews of this book. Most of these works focus on the usual elements and concerns, with more or less emphasis the various aspects of successful project management. It's worth pointing out, though, that this is one of the rare books that also applies to projects undertaken outside the realm of the purely technical fields.
This is an area that is too often overlooked by traditional PM perspectives, but most "projects" in the world likely fall into the non-tech category. It is time more of us felt able to approach these situations with some of the tools, techniques and perspectives of the PM profession. Unfortunately few sources of guidance or encouragement exist for non-tech professionals, with the exception of Mr DeCarlo, who seems to well understand this void and is attempting to fill it.
It's all here.......2005-05-23
Doug DeCarlo is a fascinating person and a delightful speaker. To the great benefit of readers everywhere, his essence is now captured in print. We are treated to "totoolitarianism" and project management by eye contact instead of icon-tact . Overcoming "Newtonian neurosis," we learn that "Reality Rules" and in the absence of knowing your purpose, trivia prevails. The way to cope with high [speed, change, complexity, risk, stress] projects is to employ eXtreme project management. "The eXtreme project manager is riding a horse in the middle of a stampede." DeCarlo helps managers succeed by explaining how to shoot the gun and then redirect the bullet while not losing sight of the moving target. In an early chapter on leadership, he says "unless you choose Self-Mastery, you are choosing self-misery....there are no victims, just volunteers." These expressions appear throughout the book, causing many chuckles and nodding of the head in violent agreement.
DeCarlo has written the definitive reference book on eXtreme project management. He covers the 4 accelerators, 10 shared values, 4 business questions, and 5 critical success factors-perhaps a bit much to remember in your elevator pitch but something to refer back to. Personal examples illustrate their application. A colleague stated that DeCarlo "may not go to Project Management Institute heaven" for his attacks on traditional project management. Instead he created a Parallel Universe in an on-going narrative across a number of chapters where characters apply the principles he identifies. He is not interested in "a group exercise in fiction writing" although DeCarlo is very creative himself. His goal is to light the candle so we avoid cursing the darkness.
My only caution in reading this book is to give yourself plenty of time-it is rather lengthy at about 500 pages. You will get the construct, tools, memorable expressions, and examples that cover the topic in detail.
SOLID RESOURCE WITH LOTS OF INFORMATIVE SUBSTANCE........2005-04-23
Extreme projects are characterized by two or more of the following: high stakes; tight deadlines; innovation is primary; success measured only in bottom-line results; bureaucracy not tolerated; and quality of life is important. The book presents a holistic framework based on: 4 "Accelerators" (principles for unleashing motivation); ten shared values for building trust and confidence; four business questions that ensure customers receive value early and often; and five success factors. The four parts of the book focus on: the new realities of today and the mindset these demand; critical leadership skills; the flexible project model for extreme projects; and practical guidance on managing the project environment. The last 30 pages present a collection of self-mastery, interpersonal, facilitation, and project management tools and techniques. A solid resource with a lot of informative substance.

Review - Steven Vornea.......2006-12-11
In project management, as in other fields that rely heavily not only on hard work, but on strategy, it is important to understand and apply the principles that underlie the success of the endeavor. Mr. Leach has written an informative primer with some very helpful strategies that I intend to integrate into my business.
Steven Harry Vornea
Be a wise man (or woman).......2006-11-06
Larry has produced an easily affordable primer on Project Management. Much better edited than his Artech House textbook. This one is very suitable for handing out to every member of the Project Management Team for their use in understanding the road ahead. Along the way, Larry throws in the benefit of his and other's experience to help avoid making the same mistakes. As Eli Goldratt just said "the difference between a smart man and a wise man, is that the smart man learns from his mistakes, the wise man learns from the smart man's mistakes". You can be wise by buying this book.
Great little book with big content.......2006-10-28
Larry Leach weaves his practical experience with the PMBOK, Lean, TOC and Critical Chain to present useful and useable project management methods. If you are not familiar with these, this book is a good introduction them all. The book is short, readable and cheap. Leach's strength is in synthesizing the best of each of these methods into a whole that progresses through Eight Principles. It has many examples from his experience. I recommend it to anyone interested in bringing projects in on time, cost and scope.
TOC and Lean: The Dynamic Duo.......2006-10-03
Lean is an excelent framework for reducing/eliminating waste ("muda", in Japanese). But where do we start? Of course both TOC and Lean offers focusing techniques, but we can compare them to a telescopic scope (Lean) and a laser sight (TOC). Thus, they complement each other very well.
Larry did a great job at bringing this insight with practical applications on Project Management. I've used TOC and Lean concepts for a while, but Larry's book brings both in synch, in a very useful way.
Practitioners of CMMI, PMBOK and ISO will also benefit very much from those 8 Principles.
If you've read "Critical Chain Project Management" (also from Larry), this book is the next step.
Book Description
Project Management for Business and Engineering is a direct response to the ever-increasing need for better project management. This book encompasses the full range of project management - everything from origins, philosophy, and methodology to actual applications. Nicholas describes concepts and techniques such as project initiation and proposals, scope and task definition, scheduling, budgeting, risk analysis, control, project organization, and the often overlooked "people" side - project leadership, team building, conflict, and stress management.
The Systems Development Cycle is used as a framework to discuss project management in a variety of situations, making this book useful for managing virtually any kind of project, program, or task force. Over 230 figures and tables, 60 short examples and illustrative cases, and end-of-chapter summaries, review problems, questions, and case studies are included.
The author draws upon his experience with projects in information technology, systems analysis, aerospace engineering, human resource development, and over a decade of teaching project management as a university professor.
· Comprehensive, balanced topical coverage; interesting to read
· Numerous figures and tables (figure/table appears every 2.5 pages, average)
· Systems approach: methodologies, development cycle, and engineering
Customer Reviews:
THE text for project management courses at the MBA level.......2006-06-05
Nicholas's book was the adopted text for a graduate course for MBA students in the Spring term of 2006. Although the class was an elective, it attracted 38 students, more than any other elective. For elective classes, the students often examine the assigned textbook before deciding whether they should enroll.
At the end of each course, the students provide feedback on the assigned textbook and its value to the course. For the course that just ended, their reviews were positive throughout and downright enthusiastic in many cases. Many felt that Nicholas's textbook significantly enhanced their grasp and understanding of project management.
The MBA students particularly appreciated the book's clear layout and topic development: philosophy and concepts of project management, systems development cycle, and organization behavior. A great plus are the many case studies at the end of the chapters. Not only do these cases reinforce the message of the chapter with focused questions, but they also further the big-picture understanding of the project manager's role in contributing to an enterprise's bottom line.
This reviewer warmly recommends this text to any instructor preparing a course in project management as part of a formal degree program and hopes that a future edition will also present links to the ANSI standard 99-001-2004, known as the Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge, the PMBOK Guide.
Managing Business and Engineering Projects.......2006-01-15
The business operating environment in most industries worldwide is fiercely competitive with rapid changes and developments in technology, which have impacted on the conduct of projects. New challenges are constantly arising which require unique, innovative and creative solutions to meet the dynamic needs of consumers and customers for high quality goods and services. To meet these needs, organizations find it necessary to organize the workforce into productive project teams with combined expertise from several functional areas.
The book equips the reader with project management skills to raise significantly the probability of success with our projects. The book is about managing business and engineering projects which enables technical specialists such as architects, quantity surveyors, engineers, systems analysts and chemists to not only understand the technical aspects of projects but also the critical relevant business and management topics. People with business training background also benefit from understanding and appreciating the technical aspects of projects.
The book is suitable for practicing managers in business and engineering as well as people doing project management at an advanced level (such as at university level). The book focuses on practical application of project management concepts and the successful implementation of projects. The book covers both the broad aspects of project management as well as the practical aspects. Among the topics covered are PERT/CPM, scheduling, budgeting and control, systems and procedures for project planning as well as organizational and human side of projects.
Among the critical aspects in managing projects are good communication, trust, teamwork, effective conflict management and managing emotional stress.
I found this book very comprehensive in its treatment of project management and I recommend it to those wishing to study this interested subject at an advanced level.
For systems thinkers, a great book........2005-08-27
Project Management for Business and Engineering can serve as a secondary book for students undertaking Project Management courses.
Secondary I say, because the wealth of information and prespectives presented is not for the soft hearted.
Apart from the usual PM, tools and techniques presented in many other literature, the author revolves his presentation around systems thinking.
The concepts explained in this book are backed by case studies and examples that are somewhat fun to read.
For those looking for that little bit extra in PM, this is the book for you!
Product Description
Principles of Contracting for Project Management, 2nd edition, contains the basic information project professionals need to get up to speed on contracting fundamentals. Today, substantial portions of project work are outsourced. Project supplies are often purchased by means of contracts. Larger projects make heavy use of subcontractors. In this environment, it is important that people engaged in project work understand the contracting principles that guide their efforts. The second edition updates and expands the material contained in the first edition. Of particular note is the inclusion of a new chapter on performance based contracting, which is rapidly becoming the dominant way project work is contracted. Chapters contained in the 2nd edition include: Chapter 1. Introduction; Chapter 2. Procurement Planning; Chapter 3. Solicitation Planning; Chapter 4. Preparing the Bid; Chapter 5. Source Selection/Contract Award; Chapter 6. Post Contract Award/Contract Administration; Chapter 7. Contract Close Out; Chapter 8. Odds and Ends; Chapter 9. Performance Based Contracting; and Chapter 10. Conclusion. This book is compliant with the Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK), and is an excellent study tool for people preparing for the PMP certification examination.
Book Description
Features eight handbooks, published previously by the Project Management Institute (PMI®), that have had significant impact on the project management profession and continue to have enduring value for today's project manager. These handbooks are collected in this one economical volume that belongs on every project manager's bookshelf.
Customer Reviews:
Required reading for the PMP? NOT! A must buy though ..........2003-04-08
This book used to be on PMI's recommended reading list for PMP preparation (I am not sure if it still is). The book does not use any complicated terminology and is written using an easy to read writing style. But the concepts will be easier to understand when you become an experienced project manager. If you read it at the beginning of your career, I recommend that you keep this in mind and not be disappointed. Just hold on to the copy and you will appreciate it later when you have more overall knowledge of project management.
The book is literally a compilation of 8 of the best papers on project management ever published. Hence the papers can be read independently. If you are a student at some University, you should be able to trace the individual papers to their source in your University library and print them at a much lower cost than the price of this book. The price was the only disappointment for me and since I am not a student, I couldn't do what I suggested above.
The eight different topics addressed by these papers in the book are -
1. Conflict Management
2. Contract Administration
3. Negotiating
4. Time and Stress Management
5. Team Building
6. PM Roles and Responsibilities
7. Organizational Development Approach
8. Organizing for Project Management
Based on my own personal background, I found the first five topics noted above the most interesting and the topic on Time and Stress Management the most useful. A lot of people I have talked to have not really found the time to read this book before taking the PMP but I would recommend reading it thoroughly once you have passed the PMP. I am finding that this book provides a very useful way to consolidate one's PM knowledge. PMI publishes 'Project Management Journal' and 'PM Network' on a regular basis that are also absolutely essential for any project manager. I have actually kept these publications from years back and they are one of the most prized possessions of my PM library. Enjoy reading these papers and the above mentioned publications!
UNREADABLE.......2003-04-02
IF YOU ENJOY READING DOCTORAL DISSERTATIONS THEN BUY THIS BOOK.
The book is unreadable and there is no INDEX!
If you are trying to LEARN about Project Management then avoid this book like the plague.
Getting ready for the PMP?.......2000-08-12
Excellent reference if you are getting ready for the PMP exam. Use it to study for the HR material, the Communications material and the Contract and procurement material.
I use it in my PMP classes at Oak Associates, Inc. www.oakinc.com

Customer Reviews:
great practical book on SE - not systems analysis .......2005-12-08
.
.
.
The author wrote this beook because he was concerned that many of the SE textbooks on the market were too philosophical, and decided to channel his energies into creating a text
that reflected his realities as an SE practitioner and program
manager.
The book includes
1) conceptual foundations in SE,
2) HOW TOs,
and
3) practitioner-based knowledge.
Since SE applies to any type of system from Space Shuttles to PDAs, organizations, services etc., Wasson built on the basic SE foundations from aerospace and defense in formulating a fresh new approach that canbe applied to any business domain - construction, communications, financial, medical, educational, transportation, etc.
The 57 chapters are "lesson oriented", developed for upper-undergraduate to graduate level students, focus on specific SE topics, and include two types of exercises: development of general systems, products, and services and organizational centric.
Instructors can take the topics to any level of detail they desire, depending on their audience.

Good statement of the basics.......2003-02-25
A relatively short and well set-out reminder of the key principles for ensuring that groups of people work together effectively as a system to produce excellent results. Each principle is supported with relevant examples and the key points are drawn out clearly.
Easy to read, Easy to Apply.......2002-02-27
This book is based on the Boeing project. James Lewis takes principles he learned from the team at Boeing and explains them to this new book. He has a writing style that is very easy to follow and understand. His principles are backed with good examples. This is a book for all business and team leaders to read and add to your library.
Book Description
Explaining both simple and difficult concepts through examples and its easily-read style, this complete book should support any needs the professional has on the job. Particular attention is paid to the concepts most frequently used in industry practice, in order to produce the best book possible on the subject of effective scheduling.
Topics covered emphasize: precedence network diagramming; resource allocation; monitoring; control; as well as report generation and interpretation.
An excellent reference and learning tool for project managers, project engineers, project control specialists, or supervisors.

Customer Reviews:
Intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, regarded this book with envious eyes........2007-08-01
The template of "principles" in this book are covertly ideal discussion topics & solutions to be telegraphed sublimely during an interview session for the software development project manager when the interviewer(s) are not technically astute and semi-techtarded. In no way am I trivializing this book's relative importance, nor its integrity, just its targeted appeal. Nearly all big picture "solutions" presented in this text are genuinely useful but often overlooked. Rapid prototyping to get ideas and requirements into the recursive feedback loop of constructive critique and buy-in as fast as possible, what's better than that in the real world of software development? To keep things in perspective, keep a mental copy of this simplistic book within you for those high-level meetings and interviews to help paint the bigger picture of that which is really important in getting quality, productive software successfully developed instead of going astray in detailed minutiae.
Simple List of Lessons Learned.......2006-11-13
A simple collection of Best Practices and Lessons Learned from the Mars Rover Software Project. Full of higher level design and architecture decisions, but, no code listings and minimal implementation details. The lessons cover everything from component interfaces, logging, loosely coupled services to team dynamics and project management. Large clear fonts and plenty of whitespace allow for easy and quick reading. Recommended for those seeking a high level view, don't look for a lot of detail such as code snippets, etc.
