Not-A-Textbook On: ENGINEERING PROJECT MANAGEMENT

This book is aimed at the engineer or other technology focused new project manager who just got his first major project management assignment. It is geared towards engineering project management for government and aerospace applications but generally applicable to commercial businesses. The basic principles of running product development projects are the same but the acronyms and terminologies may disguise that fact..This book covers the project development process from initial product idea or customer need through the business capture, product design, prototyping, testing and production transfer phases (or “soup to nuts” in banal management jargon). Pragmatic management techniques for all these project phases are detailed with project planning, execution, cost control, performance, and cost and tracking methods plus a lot of editorial comments, important points, helpful hints, shortcuts and watchouts along the way.
