Book Reviews of Essentials of Project and Systems Engineering Management
Book Review: unfortunate
Summary: 1 Stars
From what I understand, this text book is an adaptation of Mil-Std-499; when the DoD abandoned Mil-Std's, Eisner was left without a customer, and so this book was born. It is currently used (but soon being replaced) as the standard textbook in the GWU EMSE repertory, and I have heard time and again (and indeed concur) that this book is a portfolio of platitudes and elevator speeches. There is not an item within its pages that prepares the reader to manage a systems engineering project or project manage a system. I feel cheapened by its words and would not encourage anyone to spend the money on this or "Managing Complex Systems: Thinking Outside the Box", Eisner's other book. In fact, the latter is even worse-- I cannot wait to dispose of it, I would not even sell it back.
