Accelerated Project Management shows how you can reduce time on all your product development projects without adding unnecessary risk or cost. James P. Lewis and Louis Wong, two of todayis leaders in project management innovation, detail tools and techniques you can use to: * Avoid the enemies of project speed, from excessive project size to poor planning, insufficient resources, and perfectionism* Prioritize projects, creating a top-down sense of urgency and importance* Establish an Innovation Project Office (IPO) to act as a key linkage between strategy and implementation, and provide early warning when projects are losing focus and control Project leaders at top companies from Hewlett Packard to Cisco have discovered that to increase product development speed they must create clear product roadmaps, involve manufacturing in the process from square one, and eliminate rework through stringent quality standards and double-checks.
