Research and development (R&D) activities do not fit the traditional project model. They may seem difficult to manage because of their inherent ambiguity, the need for creative exploration, and often the lack of having defined milestones and outcomes. However, project management methods, along with systems engineering as a complementary discipline, provide the ability to categorize R&D activities, bound them, and then assess progress along a defined course of action. They also provide information about status and progress, visibility into opportunities and challenges that might otherwise be missed, allowing timely course corrections.Project Management for Research and Development: Guiding Innovation for Positive R&D Outcomes, Second Edition, provides methods for optimizing results in R&D by using structured processes that come from project management and are intertwined with the key complementary discipline of systems engineering. It provides processes, tools, and techniques to assess and manage creative activities in an optimal way. The core of the book is a flexible framework, which lifts the burden off organizations that do not want to invest heavily in implementing a significant number of often conflicting processes.

The ways in which young people use language provides fascinating insights into language practice and contact. Written by a team of key scholars in the field, this book describes and theorises ''male, in-group, street-aligned, youth language practice'' in urban centres in Africa, exploring the creative use of language, and its function in peer sociality and contestation of social identities. The book contributes to theoretical debates surrounding multimodal language, language contact, standards and variation, and language change. It highlights that ''youth languages'' are not to be confused with the urban languages, varieties, and vernaculars of the general population, and that claims of autonomy and candidacy as national languages are flawed. The book demonstrates that the youthful practices of males are nevertheless worthy of scholarly attention: the framing of youth languages within the field of language contact will stimulate situated and comprehensive studies of the role and significance of youth practices.

This book provides the much-needed, no-nonsense guidance crucial for project managers – that is, the type of guidance that is missing from every major body of knowledge and educational offering for working project managers. This very practical book identifies the activities that influence project success and focuses the limited time and energy available towards just those activities. The Project Management Institute (PMI) and most literature on project management discusses all aspects of project management under the assumption that project managers will narrow down focus because they cannot be expected to use every process outlined by PMI to manage every project. This book uses the concept of "hacking" our standard conventions of project management and outlines a standard path identified by conventional wisdom, an evil path that project managers frequently resort to under time/quality pressures, and a hacker path that provides a better way to look at the challenge. This book equips project managers with streamlined approaches to refocus their efforts on factors that matter while spending less time doing it.

Project Program and Portfolio Management (P3M) represents project management taken to the enterprise level. It is increasingly being recognised as critical to the success of projects in large organizations, such as governments and multinational corporations. Conversely, it is also being recognised that failure to implement it in an organization will often result in a string of poor performing and failed projects. While P3M should therefore be considered critical for large organisations, it can also play a significant part in improving the success and financial payback of projects in any size of business.Whether you will be commissioning, running, involved in the delivery of, or are just interested in the possibilities that program and portfolio management can bring, Project Program and Portfolio Management in easy steps will give you a good understanding of the subject.

Many organisations face the challenge of making their project management more agile. However, the circumstances are often not suitable for this: The desired agility either does not fit the existing projects, or there is a lack of sufficient systematics. Lean Project Management shows how the advantages of different Lean Project Management methods – adaptive, targeted and flexible – can be combined. In addition to the established methods of classic and agile project management, proven methods and tools from Lean Management are used and further developed with a view to the requirements of project management (such as Gemba, 5S and more). The book shows how an organisation can systematically professionalise its project management, and make it more flexible in a targeted manner, in order to achieve more value with less effort. Aimed at students on postgraduate courses in business and project management as well as professional project managers working in organisations both large and small, Lean Project Management is a clear and comprehensive guide to combining the best methods to achieve optimal results.

When it comes to ''The Excludables'', it is time to shake up the debate.Students who are excluded from school, and society, are at a higher risk of being incarcerated. They are more likely to have mental health difficulties, special educational needs, live in poverty, have social care involvement and they disproportionately come from certain ethnic groups. This book pulls on all those threads using up to date research and establishes a deeper understanding of how and why these things affect school behaviours. The factors that lead to exclusion are complex, and this book meets that challenge head on, including the kinds of “crunchy bits” that are usually avoided at all costs, such as children who are high in callous-unemotional traits, and trauma-informed approaches in prison education.Written by an experienced educator and behaviour consultant, this book steps away from the worn-out discourse that surrounds behaviour in schools, and away from the notion that educators are the only relevant experts. Get ready to explore genetics, bias, epistemic trust, and the human stress-response system; all examined through the lens of the realities of behavioural challenge faced by educators every day.This is a read that will confront everyone in some way.

The growing complexity of projects today, as well as the uncertainty inherent in innovative projects, is making obsolete traditional project management practices and procedures, which are based on the notion that much about a project is known at its start. The current high level of change and complexity confronting organizational leaders and managers requires a new approach to projects so they can be managed flexibly to embrace and exploit change. What once used to be considered extreme uncertainty is now the norm, and managing planned projects is being replaced by managing projects as they evolve. Successfully managing projects in extreme situations, such as polar and military expeditions, shows how to manage successfully projects in today’s turbulent environment. Executed under the harshest and most unpredictable conditions, these projects are great sources for learning about how to manage unexpected and unforeseen situations as they occur. This book presents multiple case studies of managing extreme events as they happened during polar, mountain climbing, military, and rescue expeditions. A boat accident in the Artic is a lesson on how an effective project manager must be ambidextrous: on one hand able to follow plans and on the other hand able to abandon those plans when ...
