Project Management Metrics, KPIs, and Dashboards: A Guide to Measuring and Monitoring Project Performance

Really like this book use in my everyday research

Thank you for this book!

Marvelous

This text gives a overview of project management metrics, or key performance indicators. These are values that can be tracked and the author seems to have a good fundamental grasp of these concepts. I find that paired with good software (we have integrated software at my office that is good at handling these metrics), the book makes a useful tool. Even with something as stripped down as MS Excel (which can create wonderful reports if utilized to its full extent), this is a good reference. Realistically though this contains much information which can be researched easily online, but it is nice to have it all in one place.

Excelente información.

Great Resource for PMO Leaders.

Author Harold Kerzner is a legend for anyone who has ever studied for PMI.I have read his books for PMP and every time there is a new edition, I get a new version of the book because it helps me re-read old materials and learn whatever is new. This latest book is about using metrics and other performance tools to measure success of the project, organization and any effort by the project team. It is a way of re-evaluating a role of the project manager within the organization. Project managers are no longer having a passive role, their role is more prominent and the methodologies are changing. It is no longer true that project manager's engagement is over once project is over. Project managers these days are consistently responsible for customer success and retention. This book is a great addition for anyone who needs to learn more about the ever expanding role of a project manager.

I am surprised by all the high ratings. I find this book shockingly bad. It repeats the same things over and over. In general, it is a confusing book with no logical organization. I don't find very many things in the book actionable in real life. I only read this book because it is the required text for a project management class.
