Total project control

<h2 id="later-enhancements">Later enhancements</h2>
<p>Since the total project control approach was introduced in the first edition of Devaux's 1999 book by that title, others have extended both the theory and the practice. In 2013, Tomoichi Sato of <a href="/facts/JGC_Corporation/dXYNyx9d">JGC Corporation</a> in Yokohama suggested an "extended DIPP" based on risk-based project value. He wrote: "The key concept of Simple DIPP is to obtain the ratio of expected income to cost ETC, neglecting sunk costs in the past. Using  RPV  instead  of  expected  income,  the  author proposes  a criterion  "extended  DIPP".  This represents the ratio of remaining RPV to cost ETC.  If there are project alternatives which are mutually independent, the one with the highest extended DIPP should be chosen... To maximize the project portfolio value of a company, extended DIPP can be used as criteria for prioritisation."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:8" href="#fn:8"><sup>8</sup></a>
</p><p>Additionally, critical path drag calculation has been coded into project scheduling software, both in <a href="/facts/Spider_Project/y24C94R5">Spider Project</a> and as an add-on product to <a href="/facts/Microsoft_Project/ooboaNXh">Microsoft Project</a> from Boyle Project Consulting, PLLC.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:9" href="#fn:9"><sup>9</sup></a>
