Chapter 4 in the PMBOK ® Guide.
Project Management, A Systems Approach to Planning,
Scheduling, and Controlling, Seventh Edition by Harold Kerzner,
PHD
The WBS on Page 42 of the PMBOK ® Guide is as
follows:
1. Project Plan Development
2. Project Plan Execution
3. Integrated Change Control
Comments:
We normally study this chapter as a summary rather
than an introduction. We like the emphasis on Earned Value as an
integration tool, on corrective action and on Integrated Change
Control. We often see too much emphasis placed on “lessons
learned” and too little on corrective action. “We’re
late, over budget and the quality is lousy, but look at all the
lessons we learned!” This approach is not good enough!
We use Earned Value to "manage by exception"
just the tasks that go wrong e.g. activities with less than five
days float and SPI < 1.0. Each day, we move resources to these
activities from activities that have float.
Dr.
Kerzner has some excellent ideas on integration at the beginning
and though out his book.
