About this title

Synopsis

The Authoritative Principles for Successfully Integrating Systems Engineering with Project Management

Essentials of Project and Systems Engineering Management outlines key project management concepts and demonstrates how to apply them to the systems engineering process in order to optimize product design and development. Presented in a practical treatment that enables managers and engineers to understand and implement the basics quickly, this updated Second Edition also provides information on industry trends and standards that guide and facilitate project management and systems engineering implementation.

Along with scores of real-world examples, this revised edition includes new and expanded material on:

• Project manager attributes, leadership, integrated product teams, elements of systems engineering, and corporate interactions
• Systems engineering management problems and issues, errors in systems, and standards advocated by professional groups such as the Electronic Industries Association (EIA) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)
• Fixed price contracting, systems integration, software cost estimating, life cycle cost relationships, systems architecting, system disposal, and system acquisition
• Risk analysis, verification and validation, and capability maturity models

Essentials of Project and Systems Engineering Management, Second Edition is the ideal, single-source reference for professional technical and engineering managers in aerospace, communications, information technology, and computer-related industries, their engineering staffs, technical and R&D personnel, as well as students in these areas.
