Abstract
The purpose of this article is to give the reader a short yet complete overview of my new Project Management book that has recently been published by Springer. The general topic of this book is known as dynamic project scheduling and claims that project scheduling is a dynamic process that involves a continuous stream of changes and is a never ending process to support decisions that need to be made along the life of the project. Therefore, dynamic scheduling puts project control using Earned Value Management and project performance in a central place. More precisely, it focuses on the crucial role of the baseline schedule in order to assure a perfect integration with schedule risk analyses and an e!cient project control approach. It is conjectured that this integration is key to support a better corrective action decision making when the project is in trouble.
