DESCRIPTION:
Howard Eisner, this combined textbook and reference explains key project management concepts and demonstrates how to apply them to the systems engineering process in order to optimize product design and development. Tackling this problem head on, this combined text/reference both explains key project management concepts and shows how to integrate them successfully into the systems engineering process. Written by a leading expert in systems engineering, Essentials of Project and Systems Engineering Management uses a practical and integrative approach to enable readers to understand and implement the basics quickly in a host of key areas—including project planning, cost and sensitivity analyses, leadership and team building, requirements analysis and allocatio
"A book that needs updating" according to A Customer. This book needs its concepts and focus updated and broaden. I found the book had a very narrow point of view, focusing only on a government perspective of approaching project and engineering management, and providing very little on private industry's management point of view in the book. Even when the book repeats again and again concepts on how government, DoD and NASA do business, the concepts it presents are different (outdated) from how government and DoD do business presently. In short, the book needs to be . "A grad student's review" according to A Customer. Howard Eisner's book is an outstanding work that bridges the gulf between project management and systems engineering.

As a 46 year old student of Dr Eisner's, I assert this with 25 years of experience in both disciplines. His book has been a wonderful aid to refreshing and updating my skills. If a section with the answers to the problems had been included, I would have said SIX stars Highly recommended.. 6 year old student of Dr Eisner's, I assert this with 25 years of experience in both disciplines. His book has been a wonderful aid to refreshing and updating my skills. If a section with the answers to the problems had been included, I would have said SIX stars Highly recommended.. Good project management book for quantitative/engineer project managers Good project management book for quantitative/engineer project managers. More advanced concepts such as the use of statistical analysis (ex Rayleigh Distribution Functions and Schedule Reliability Determinations) to determine the most probable project outcomes in terms of Cost and Schedule is well explained. In addition the typical concepts and tools such as Critical Path Analysis and Earned Value (BCWP, SV, CV, BCWS etc) are reviewed in great detail.
This well-written text therefore devotes much of its content and one-third of its bibliography, to such subjects. ; Dealing with difficult people, such as team busters, or the bad boss, confronts most of us at some time. Examples are the space shuttle and air traffic control. "Most large-scale systems deal with military, aerospace, or telecommunications activity. Motivation? Incentives? How to treat employees fairly and earn loyalty? It's all here." (Electrical Apparatus, April 2002)
