It examines the search for and significance of project data from multiple, distinct perspectives. In the first part, the quest for project data is presented as a continuous exploration of the complexity of the resource-constrained project scheduling problem. This quest is pursued by solving this challenging problem with the aid of state-of-the-art algorithms from the literature, each time gaining a deeper understanding of its challenging nature.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTo provide insights into the problem's complexity, project data is created, manipulated, and analyzed in depth to make current projects easier or harder to schedule.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis challenging quest for project data has resulted in new project databases for academic research, new ways of testing future algorithms, and insights into how to improve future algorithms to solve this project scheduling problem with limited resources. In turn, the second part discusses the relevance of project data, demonstrating to the reader the importance of the academic research presented in the first part for the professional world. It shows how project data can be used to calibrate real project data, leading to improved decision-making, e.g. for project scheduling, forecasting, and risk analysis.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book extends a warm invitation to academics and practitioners alike, as fellow seekers of knowledge, to enhance their project management skills.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDr. Mario Vanhoucke is a Professor at Ghent University (Belgium), Vlerick Business School (Belgium), and UCL School of Management at University College London (UK). He teaches courses on Project Management, Applied Operations Research and Decision-making for Business. His research interests lie in the integration of project scheduling, risk management, and project control, which has led to more than 100 papers in international journals, five project management books published by Springer, one book published by Apress, and a PM Knowledge Center for online learning. His research has received multiple awards, e.g. from the Project Management Institute (PMI Belgium), the College of Performance Management (CPM) and the International Project Management Association (IPMA).\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 161\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 8.27 x 5.83 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 10, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44553902030983,"sku":"9783031715068","price":53.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/N3vU92qWRu9783031715068.webp?v=1777610805","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/a-quest-for-projects-with-scarce-resources-seeking-schedule-intelligence-through-project-data-discovery-hardcover","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
