This book offers you a thorough and practical introduction to using systems engineering for managing your systems design projects. It empowers you with proven techniques that help you lead a small design team to world-class performance levels.

Thisinvaluable book incorporates systems thinking and systems engineeringtechniques into every stage of design from concept inception, testing andquality assurance, to implementation, delivery, and upgrading. What’s more, thebook features many real-world examples that clearly illustrate individualtechniques showing how they are used together to effectively manage a smalldesign team and to engineer designs with minimal resources.
