A hands-on guide for creating a winning engineering project
Engineering Project Management is a practical, step-by-step guide to project management for engineers. The author - a successful, long-time practicing engineering project manager - describes the techniques and strategies for creating a successful engineering project. The book introduces engineering projects and their management, and then proceeds stage-by-stage through the engineering life-cycle project, from requirements, implementation, to phase-out. The book offers information for understanding the needs of the end user of a product and other stakeholders associated with a project, and is full of techniques based on real, hands-on management of engineering projects.
The book starts by explaining how we perform the actual engineering on projects; the techniques for project management contained in the rest of the book use those engineering methods to create superior management techniques. Every topic - from developing a work-breakdown structure and an effective project plan, to creating credible predictions for schedules and costs, through monitoring the progress of your engineering project - is infused with actual engineering techniques, thereby vastly increasing the effectivity and credibility of those management techniques.
The book also teaches you how to draw the right conclusions from numeric data and calculations, avoiding the mistakes that often cause managers to make incorrect decisions. The book also provides valuable insight about what the author calls the social aspects of engineering project management: aligning and motivating people, interacting successfully with your stakeholders, and many other important people-oriented topics. The book ends with a section on ethics in engineering.
This important book:
- Offers a hands-on guide for developing and implementing a project management plan
- Includes background information, strategies, and techniques on project management designed for engineers
- Takes an easy-to-understand, step-by-step approach to project management
- Contains ideas for launching a project, managing large amount of software, and tips for ending a project
Structured to support both undergraduate and graduate courses in engineering project management, Engineering Project Management is an essential guide for managing a successful project from the idea phase to the completion of the project.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
《工程專案管理》是一本實用的、逐步指導工程師進行專案管理的指南。作者是一位成功且長期從事工程專案管理的專業人士，描述了創建成功工程專案的技巧和策略。本書介紹了工程專案及其管理，並從需求、實施到階段結束逐步介紹了工程專案的生命週期。本書提供了了解產品最終用戶和與專案相關的其他利益相關者需求的信息，並充滿了基於實際工程專案管理的技巧。
本書首先解釋了我們如何在專案中進行實際工程，其餘部分的專案管理技巧使用這些工程方法來創建優秀的管理技巧。從制定工作分解結構和有效的專案計劃，到為進度和成本創建可信的預測，再到監控工程專案的進展，每個主題都融入了實際的工程技巧，從而大大提高了這些管理技巧的效果和可信度。
本書還教你如何從數據和計算中得出正確的結論，避免經理人常常因為錯誤的決策而犯錯。本書還提供了有關作者所稱的「工程專案管理的社會層面」的寶貴見解：協調和激勵人員，與利益相關者成功互動，以及其他重要的以人為本的主題。本書以工程倫理為結尾。
本書的重點如下：
- 提供了一個實用指南，用於制定和實施專案管理計劃
- 包含了針對工程師設計的專案管理的背景信息、策略和技巧
- 採用易於理解的逐步方法進行專案管理
- 包含了啟動專案、管理大量軟體以及結束專案的技巧
《工程專案管理》的結構支持工程專案管理的本科和研究生課程，是從專案的構想階段到專案完成的成功管理的必備指南。
