Nearly half of the projects that fail, fail because of "poor requirements management" (PMI 2014). Leveraging Business Analysis for Project Success explores the role of the business analyst in setting a project up for success. It informs and educates project managers, sponsors, and organization leaders on what is necessary for project success. It goes beyond requirements management in exploring how the business analyst can contribute to increased profitability through project selection, scope definition, and post-implementation evaluation. The reader will learn about the history of business analysis, professional organizations and resources to support the profession, and what to expect from the business analyst at each phase of the project life cycle as presented in a case study throughout the text. Project leaders will be better able to support the business analysis needs of the project by understanding the skills, expertise, tasks, resources, and time needed to do business analysis right and maximize the return on investment for each project.Portfolio and project management collection.2163-9582Project managementBusiness analystsElectronic books.Business analysisBusiness analystReturn on investmentProjectRequirementsProject management.Business analysts.658.404James Vicki(Project management specialist),877222MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910460849803321Leveraging business analysis for project success1958765UNINA03824nam 22005655 450 991056829560332120251113155704.0981-19-1508-310.1007/978-981-19-1508-6(MiAaPQ)EBC6977420(Au-PeEL)EBL6977420(CKB)22046313200041(OCoLC)1315646668(DE-He213)978-981-19-1508-6(EXLCZ)992204631320004120220504d2022 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierAutomatic Structural Synthesis and Creative Design of Mechanisms /by Huafeng Ding, Wenjian Yang, Andrés Kecskeméthy1st ed. 2022.Singapore :Springer Nature Singapore :Imprint: Springer,2022.1 online resource (302 pages)Springer Tracts in Mechanical Engineering,2195-9870Print version: Ding, Huafeng Automatic Structural Synthesis and Creative Design of Mechanisms Singapore : Springer,c2022 9789811915079 Includes bibliographical references.1 Introduction -- Part 1 Topological Structure Analysis -- 2 Basic Concepts of Graphs of Kinematic Chains -- 3 Unified Graph Model of Planar Kinematic chains -- 4 Loop Algebra of Kinematic Chains -- 5 Unified Isomorphism Detection for Planar Kinematic Chains -- 6 Unified Rigid Sub-chain Detection for Planar Kinematic Chains -- Part 2 Topological Structure Synthesis -- 7 Structural Synthesis of Contracted Graphs of Kinematic Chains -- 8 Structural Synthesis of Simple Joint Kinematic Chains -- 9 Automatic Sketching of Planar Kinematic Chains -- 10 Automatic Synthesis of Inversions of Kinematic Chains -- 11 Structural Synthesis of Fractionated Kinematic Chains -- 12 Automatic Synthesis of Kinematic Chains with Prismatic Pairs -- 13 Automatic Synthesis of Planar Multiple Joint Kinematic Chains -- 14 Automatic Synthesis of Planetary Gear Trains -- Part 3 Conceptual Creative Design of Mechanisms -- 15 Automatic Computation of Connectivity in Kinematic Chains -- 16 Conceptual Creative Design of Mechanisms -- Appendix A Contracted graphs with six independent loops.This book provides a comprehensive overview of the current research status and open problems in the field of structural synthesis, based on which a systematic methodology for the structural analysis of planar kinematic chains, structural synthesis of planar kinematic chains, and creative design of mechanisms is presented. The method presented in this book not only promotes the development of theoretical research in the field of mechanical science, and the development of industrial software for the creative design of mechanisms, but also generates novel high-performance mechanisms suitable for industrial application, which can improve the work efficiency and economic benefits. This book offers theoretical guidance for students and researchers engaged in the field of mechanical engineering, especially the creative design of mechanism.Springer Tracts in Mechanical Engineering,2195-9870Engineering designMachineryEngineering DesignMachinery and Machine ElementsEngineering design.Machinery.Engineering Design.Machinery and Machine Elements.620.0042Ding Huafeng1227400Yang WenjianKecskeméthy AndrésMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910568295603321Automatic Structural Synthesis and Creative Design of Mechanisms2849918UNINA
