Communicating Project Management

This integrated dictionary includes over 1500 terms in both project management and system engineering, defined in a way that supports the desired seamless integration of the two topics. Many of the definitions have supporting explanations and illustrations to put them into context. A CD-ROM is included to provide easy access to definitions. Praise for Communicating Project Management: The Integrated Vocabulary of Project Management and Systems Engineering "I have long felt that communication should receive more profound attention in the project management literature. Indeed, as the authors stated in their earlier book Visualizing Project Management, ‘To succeed at project management, you first have to communicate clearly.’ This new book will be a valuable addition to the library of any practitioner working in, or contemplating working in, the systems and software engineering project application area. The authors must be congratulated on filling a long outstanding need." –Max Wideman, FCSCE, FEIC, FICE, PMI Fellow and Past President "Communicating Project Management is an excellent resource for all engineers and program managers. In addition to the hundreds of helpful definitions, it provides a wonderful overview of the problems associated with communication, highlighting those human characteristics that often hinder a project’s success. The authors also explore the seldom discussed but critical concept of control gates, which unites systems engineering and project management. This book discussion should spur further study of decision-making and communications with respect to control gates. A welcome resource!" –Dr. Dennis Buede, Director of Graduate Systems Engineering Programs at the Stevens Institute of Technology "At last, a book that will tear down the silos between…
