What's New?
Project management in the design industry is changing at a furious pace, and A/E firm project managers face more challenges than ever before.

Projects are increasing in complexity, and project managers are confronting an overwhelming volume of project information. Project teams are expanding and becoming more integrated as the walls between design and construction disintegrate. New communications and technology tools are allowing project teams to become more mobile and more global. New software solutions and project delivery methods are transforming the ways that projects are managed, designed, and built. On top of it all, clients are demanding even faster timelines and stricter adherence to budgets in a sluggish economy.

Design firms and project managers are operating on an entirely new playing field from just a few years ago, so a new playbook is in order. PSMJ’s newly revised Ultimate Project Management Manual will guide you through the A/E industry’s new project management landscape.

Here’s what’s new in 2012 Edition of The Ultimate Project Management Manual:

• New chapter with project management benchmarks. The 2011-2012 edition of The Ultimate Project Management Manual features a brand-new chapter filled with the most up-to-date survey data on project managers and project management practices in the A/E industry. Get the hard numbers on senior and junior project manager compensation and benefits, time charges, billing rates, contract forms and terms, net revenues and direct labor hours per project manager, project expenses, design fees as a percentage of construction costs, and more. Benchmark your firm against your peers, and make sure you’re not falling behind the competition.
• New project management software and apps guide. New software solutions are transforming the ways that projects are designed and managed. To help you stay on top of the latest vendor offerings, the 2011-2012 edition of The Ultimate Project Management Manual includes a brand-new guide detailing the features, benefits, and pricing of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and project management software. Plus, you’ll receive a rundown of the latest smart phone and computer tablet apps that can help design firm project managers work more effectively.

Separate the hype from the reality, and find out how these new methods could impact the ways your firm lands, manages, and delivers projects.
• The latest information on new communications tools. Project communications have been transformed in the past decade with the emergence of e-mail, project web sites, and BIM. Now, the development of mobile technology such as smart phones, computer tablets, cloud computing, and texting is unleashing another sea change in the industry. The 2011-2012 Ultimate Project Management Manual will outline the tremendous mobility and collaboration opportunities for project teams and the resulting challenges in controlling the exponential growth in project data and communications as a result of these new tools.
