Summary This book is aimed at the engineer or scientist who just got his first major project management assignment. While geared toward government and aerospace projects, much of it is applicable to commercial business. The basic principles of running product development projects are the same but the acronyms and terminologies may disguise that fact so, where possible, equivalent terms are noted. This book covers the development process from initial product idea/customer need through business capture, product design, prototyping, testing and production transfer phases. Pragmatic management techniques are detailed with planning, execution, cost control, performance, and tracking methods, plus editorial comments, important points, helpful hints, shortcuts and watch outs. This
book provides an understanding of formal
government and aerospace project management programmatics,
business
acronyms and lingo, effective estimating techniques and cost management
strategies. It also presents starter templates
to get
started with the key project tools needed to manage a
project.
After reading this, one should be able to effectively manage major
projects, taking advantage of common-sense methodologies the
author
learned the hard way over a half century in the business. |
