This integrated dictionary includes almost 2,000 terms in both project management and system engineering — and software engineering by extension — defined in a way that seamlessly integrates these overlapping and intertwined fields. Supported by illustrations and explanations that offer a practical context for the terminology, this one-of-a-kind resource bridges the gap between the separate vocabularies of these intersecting disciplines. Far more than a dictionary, this book includes reference sections that address the special problems of and techniques for communicating in the project environment.

About the Book and Topic:
This integrated dictionary includes almost 2,000 terms in both project management and system engineering — and software engineering by extension — defined in a way that seamlessly integrates these overlapping and intertwined fields. Supported by illustrations and explanations that offer a practical context for the terminology, this one-of-a-kind resource bridges the gap between the separate vocabularies of these intersecting disciplines. Far more than a dictionary, this book includes reference sections that address the special problems of and techniques for communicating in the project environment.
Visualizing Project Management was the first book to seamlessly integrate Project Management, Systems Engineering and Software Engineering. With over 26,000 copies sold in two editions, its success speaks for the current demand for this concept. There is no integrated vocabulary for these disciplines, and the three relevant professional organizations — the Project Management Institute, the International Council on Systems Engineering, and the Software Engineering Institute — are individually developing non-integrated vocabularies.
Project Management Institute will support this book via their website and catalogue. * Natural candidate for adoption within major corporations. * Authors have built a stellar platform which consists of seminars and workshops developed around the book.
