ADAPTIVE PROJECT PLANNING TADEUSZ A. GRZESZCZYK, MAREK ZAWADA

In today's dynamic world of project management, the ability to adapt to changing conditions plays a key role. The book "Adaptive Project Planning" by Tadeusz A. Grzeszczyk and Marek Zawada is an invaluable source of knowledge for anyone looking to improve their skills in project planning and management, especially in the context of clinical trials. Based on their extensive experience, the authors present innovative planning models that allow for flexible adaptation to turbulent environments.

• Innovative planning models: Learn about the latest approaches to project planning that allow you to adapt to changing conditions.
• Project management for clinical trials: Learn how to effectively manage clinical trial projects, taking into account the specifics of this area.
• Adaptive adjustment: Learn how to implement mechanisms for adaptive adjustment to dynamically changing circumstances.
• Improving the efficiency of project teams: Gain knowledge that will allow you to improve the efficiency of project teams.
• Project management at all stages: Discover how to manage projects in such a way that planning activities are carried out and continuously improved at all stages.
• Improving the efficiency of planning processes: Learn how the application of an adaptive planning model improves the efficiency of project planning processes.
• Reducing the risk of organizational chaos: The application of adaptive models in the planning and management of clinical trial projects facilitates the implementation of a jointly formulated vision of the project and the organization.

This book is aimed at people working in clinical trials, project managers, as well as representatives of the academic community interested in project management in clinical trials. It is also recommended to employees of institutions managing public funds, clinical trial coordinators and participants of postgraduate studies, courses and training in the field of project management.

The authors draw attention to the need to take into account innovative models for the planning and management of clinical trial projects, in particular models for the adaptive planning of the course of non-commercial clinical trials. The use of innovative approaches can contribute to the implementation of mechanisms for adaptive adjustment to dynamically changing circumstances in a turbulent clinical trial environment, as well as to improving the efficiency of project teams.

The essence of the proposed concept is to manage projects in such a way that planning activities are not carried out once, but are carried out and continuously improved at all stages of non-commercial clinical trials. The results of empirical studies presented in the book confirm that the application of an adaptive planning model improves the efficiency of the planning processes of non-commercial clinical trial projects, measured by their duration.

The use of adaptive models in the planning and management of clinical trial projects brings many benefits: it facilitates the implementation of a jointly formulated vision of the project and the organization, ensures an even level of involvement of diverse groups of stakeholders, supports mechanisms for controlling project progress in large and interdisciplinary project teams, and enables the reduction of the risk of organizational chaos caused by the lack of clearly defined areas of responsibility.
