The document discusses integrating cost and schedule risk analysis using a risk driver approach. It presents a method for directly modeling schedule risk using risks identified in a risk register, specifying the probability and impact of each risk. This allows identifying priority risks that affect both cost and schedule. The results from this integrated analysis include the likelihood of schedule and cost success, contingency estimates, and a prioritized list of top risks ranked by their influence on time and cost. Accounting for relationships between cost, schedule and risk in this way provides a more accurate understanding of project uncertainty.

This document discusses what makes a good project schedule. It explains that a good schedule is predictive by showing relationships between activities, reflective by accurately tracking progress against the plan, and dynamic by adjusting when changes occur. Characteristics of a predictive schedule include predecessors/successors for tasks and minimal constrained dates. Reflective schedules include expected work streams and milestones to check progress. Dynamic schedules have an up-to-date baseline and status dates, without past start/finish dates and incomplete work. The key reasons for having a good schedule are to map out the work, forecast completion, measure progress against plans, and assess impacts of changes.

Humor can positively impact many aspects of project management. It can improve communication, aid in team building, help detect team morale issues, and influence leadership, conflict management, negotiation, motivation, and problem solving. While humor has benefits, it also has risks and not all uses of humor are positive. Future research is needed on humor in multicultural teams, its relationship to team performance, how humor is learned, and determining optimal "doses" of humor. In conclusion, humor is a tool that can influence people and projects, but must be used carefully and spontaneously for best effect.

This document discusses the importance of situation awareness (SA) for project team members. It defines SA as having three levels: perception of elements in the current situation, comprehension of the current situation, and projection of the future status. Good team SA is achieved by turning individual SAs into shared SA through communication. Teams with strong SA prepare more, focus on comprehending and projecting, and maintain awareness through techniques like questioning assumptions and seeking additional information.

This document discusses theories of leadership and how a project manager's leadership style may impact project success depending on the type of project. It outlines early hypotheses that a PM's competence, including leadership style, is a success factor on projects. It presents a research model linking PM leadership competencies to project success, moderated by factors like project type. Initial interviews found that leadership style is more important on complex projects, and different competencies are needed depending on if a project is technical or involves change. Certain competencies like communication skills and cultural sensitivity were seen as important for different project types and contexts.
