This handbook is a unique, comprehensive resource for professional project managers and students in project management courses that focuses on the integration between baseline scheduling, schedule risk analysis and project control, also known as Dynamic Scheduling or Integrated Project Management and Control. It contains a set of more than 70 articles. Each individual article focuses on one particular topic and features links to other articles in this book, where appropriate. Almost all articles are accompanied with a set of questions, the answers to which are provided at the end of the book. This book is accompanied by and is based on the Project Management Knowledge Center (www.pmknowledgecenter.com), an online learning platform for Integrated Project Management.

This book offers an integrated approach to project monitoring using Earned Value and Earned Schedule Management alongside Schedule Risk Analysis. It emphasizes the importance of regular performance observation for timely problem identification and corrective action. Aimed at students, professionals, and newcomers, it combines theory with practical software tools.

Focusing on project management, this book explores time performance measurement methods and risk analysis techniques. It evaluates these methods based on their effectiveness in enhancing decision-making for corrective actions during project tracking, providing insights into improving project outcomes and management strategies.

The book offers a unique approach to project management challenges through an interactive business novel format. Readers engage with the narrative, exploring various options at each project stage. Grounded in extensive research and the author's teaching experience, it provides practical solutions and insights, making it a valuable resource for project managers seeking to navigate common obstacles effectively.

Focusing on the collaborative journey of two researchers, the book delves into improving algorithms for resource-constrained project scheduling. It highlights the significance of project data from various perspectives, presenting the pursuit of this data as a continuous exploration of the problem's complexity. The authors employ cutting-edge algorithms from existing literature, progressively deepening their understanding of the intricate nature of resource-constrained scheduling challenges.

Focusing on data-driven project management, this book explores the critical role of project data in scheduling, risk analysis, and control. It highlights the complexities involved in collecting, processing, and utilizing project data, emphasizing its significance for both researchers and professionals. The discussion includes the integration of computer algorithms and human intuition, providing insights into effective project management in uncertain environments.

The topic of this book is known as dynamic scheduling, and is used to refer to three dimensions of project management and scheduling: the construction of a baseline schedule and the analysis of a project schedule’s risk as preparation of the project control phase during project progress.
