Reviews
'Reading this book should inspire executives to ask a variety of questions from their estimating departments and help providers of cost and schedule estimates to answer a broader range of questions. This book should motivate executives to ask: "Why are we not estimating more efficiently by applying these parametric estimating solutions?" Like a car manual tells you where the horn is located, a parametric cost model manual tells you which buttons to press to calculate an estimate. This book is like the atlas to beautiful roads, coasts and scenic drives for your car...' Project Control Professional
