Dear Colleague,

I cognize you've probably full fledged at least ONE of these situations...

• Your clients are chew at the bit to get started on a new project, but you can already see that the timeline is too short and there aren't enough resources to do the job.
• Your boss has committed your time and expertness to a new undertaking, however, your team already feels that the focus is way outside of their areas of expertise.
• You're bidding on a project with a fixed budget and schedule, but the requirements are so vague and poorly defined that you feel nauseated simply thinking simply about giving an estimate.
• You've been wanting to locate a planning tool to help you ask the right questions at the start of a project, but don't cognize wherever to find a good, comprehensive one.
• You're leading a project that's flight out of control due to "scope creep," but no one knows a firm, yet diplomatic way to set important boundaries.
• Your organization's new policies call for risk assessments on all new projects, yet your group doesn't have any idea of how to go simply about preparing them.

And so on...these are simply several of the challenges you mightiness have run into. You're probably inquisitive to yourself, "Does it actually have to be this hard? Isn't there a systematic way to estimate the risks, time, and effort required to complete a project - a way that everyone can agree on and that we can besides explain to our clients, our stakeholders, and our boss?"
