A Framework for Value Management Practice—Second Edition begins by providing readers with the background needed to understand the origins of this complex and rapidly evolving practice. The second chapter builds on this foundation, by helping readers understand how the deceptively simple concept of "value" is actually a complex interweaving of factors that include time, people, subject and circumstance. Dr. Thiry then walks the reader step by step through the complexities of different value methodologies. The updated third chapter describes tools and techniques that can be used to achieve the objectives of a value study, including the latest integrative techniques. The fourth chapter, which has been completely rewritten, covers value integration as seen within an Organizational Project Management (OPM) context.
