This book provides a basic, conceptual-level description of engineering management disciplines that
relate to the development and life cycle management of a system. For the non-engineer it provides an
overview of how a system is developed. For the engineer and project manager it provides a basic framework
for planning and assessing system development.
Information in the book is from various sources, but a good portion is taken from lecture material developed
for the two Systems Planning, Research, Development, and Engineering courses offered by the
Defense Acquisition University.
