Description:

This book is an update to the second edition of Essentials of Project and Systems Engineering Management, published in 2003. The focus on combining project management and systems engineering (two "hot" areas in business today) has made this book unique on the market. This revision contains an emphasis on new standards relative to Systems Engineering, especially as advocated by the EIA (Electronic Industries Association) and the IEEE. The text also expands upon such areas as fixed price contracts, leadership, architecting of systems, systems integration, software problems, and the integrated capability maturity model.
