“…Students will learn how to: • Set measurable project objectives and create a practical plan to achieve them • Control time, cost, and scope • Obtain approval and buy-in from senior management and key stakeholders • Create a work breakdown structure to ensure a solid foundation for project activities • Use network diagramming to control the project schedule • Employ standard estimating techniques, including analogous, parametric, and bottom-up methods • Prepare a project plan using progressive elaboration and the Critical Path Method • Lead the project team and manage relationships effectively and productively across the spectrum of project stakeholders • Identify project risk and manage change • Evaluate and report on project performance Now completely revised and updated, Successful Project Management aligns with the 5thedition of A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide), and covers outsourcing and procurement planning, the role of the Project Management Office, the use of three-point estimating and Monte Carlo simulation, earned value management, and much more. …”

“…Explore key ideas and strategies that underlie Bayesian analysis Distinguish prior, likelihood, and posterior distributions, and compare algorithms for driving sampling inputs Use grid approximation to solve simple univariate problems, and understand its limits as parameters increase Perform complex simulations and regressions with quadratic approximation and Richard McElreath's quap function Manage text values as if they were numeric Learn today's gold-standard Bayesian sampling technique: Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) Use MCMC to optimize execution speed in high-complexity problems Discover when frequentist methods fail and Bayesian methods are essential---and when to use both in tandem…”
