DESCRIPTION:
This well-written text therefore devotes much of its content and one-third of its bibliography, to such subjects. Examples are the space shuttle and air traffic control. Motivation? Incentives? How to treat employees fairly and earn loyalty? It's all here." (Electrical Apparatus, April 2002) . "Most large-scale systems deal with military, aerospace, or telecommunications activity. ; Dealing with difficult people, such as team busters, or the bad boss, confronts most of us at some time
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. Grounded throughout with real-world cases and examples, Essentials of Project and Systems Engineering Management equips you with valuable management techniques and ideas across a range of pivotal areas, including:Project planning and schedulingEvaluative methods such as cost, situation, and sensitivity analysesLeadership and the role of the project managerTeam building and interactionPrimary elements of systems engineering and systems architectingLatest software engineering tools and integrative management trendsComplete with the information you need to understand and implement project and systems engineering management fundamentals, this timely resource is an important asset to engineers in the field and students in the classroom.. In the process, the book clarifies the often unclear relationship between project management and systems engineering by demonstrating how systems engineering actually fits into the overall structure of a project.Packed
"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, . A grad student's review 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. 6 year old student of Dr Eisner's, I assert this with 25 years of experience in both disciplines.

Brian Kinson said 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 an
