Book description
This book is intended to be a practical tool rather than purely theoretical as one might find in many management books released today. Much of the book is based on practical experience, strategies and techniques attempted with various experience levels from interns and students to managing Ph.D. level engineers and scientists. Many of the experiences are special to me because of the situations that had to be overcome. As you read, you may identify situations that you connect with and say "yes, that has happened to me". International project management is bound to grow as the digital world permits more and more individuals onto the superhighway. As I'm editing this second edition, we're in the middle of quarantine for the COVID-19 situation. Recognizing the benefits of lower cost labor or improved productivity in another nation is old news. For centuries individuals have made their entire life substance by trading internationally via wagon, boat or train. Today the transportation mechanisms and communication tools are far more advanced, but the principles are the same. We can use digital media to advance the causes of project management. For an individual in engineering, presumably in mechanical engineering for many interested in this book, the first piece of advice is to recognize that you will be challenged to balance engineering and project management. Step back from the product, equipment or service that you are in charge of and realize that it is the end-result of a project. Focusing on the project will help the product, but just as important, the time and budget delivery.
