Communicating Project Management: The Integrated Vocabulary of Project Management and Systems Engineering Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)To my knowledge there are no text treating this subject from a project management/systems engineering perspective. Considering the importance of the topic the book is sorely needed.
The book presents an excellent coverage of the overall communication process and couples it with standard definitions of system management terminology. System management being a combination of project management, system engineering, and process management. That close relationship is often not recognized by practitioners in these fields.
I would encourage every project manager, systems engineer, and software engineer to have a personal copy of this text. It's an essential reference. Every project should have an agreed upon glossary of terms and acronym list. This text would make an excellent starting point. Project particular terms and acronyms would necessarily need to be added for each project. In addition to making an essential tool in project work, it provides an excellent reference source when you are confused or unaware of a term you encounter in literature. Hopefully, this book will aid us in improving our communications industry wide.

Product Description:
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 project managers, systems engineers, and finance professionals! Communicating Project Management is a perfect point of departure for clearing up miscommunication. It should be assigned reading for everyone involved in project work-before launch-to have a shared vision of what's to be accomplished."
-Bernard G. Morais, Cofounder of INCOSE and President of Synergistic Applications, Inc.
