The long planning horizon of complex projects defy the traditional
project management concepts of deterministic schedules, costs,
risks, and assumptions. Large cost overruns and benefit shortfalls
are all too common. Virtually all major projects involve complex
interfaces among diverse stakeholders, many of which have no direct
contractual relationships, yet they share critical interfaces that
can mean the difference between great success and huge failure.
This unique book presents a holistic view of a new discipline
called project interface management, which is planning,
coordinating, and controlling of the work of others at project
interfaces. It includes numerous processes, tools, and techniques
and aligns critical interactions among project management, systems
engineering, and operations management to reduce project risk and
increase successful system design, development, completion, and
transition of major projects. This cutting-edge text is designed
for use in graduate-level project management and system engineering
courses, executive education programs, and will serve as a
professional reference. It will show professional project managers,
systems engineers, executives, managers, and students how to plan,
implement, and manage interfaces in real-world practice using a
simple cost-effective approach. It is a must-read for those dealing
with complex industrial projects and in government, defense,
aerospace, energy, information technology, education,
transportation, and infrastructure. SOFTWARE TOOLS In addition to
the WAV material mentioned below, and to enhance learning and
provide readers with hands-on experience in the processes described
in the book, the authors have entered into an agreement with
Kongsberg to allow instructors who are using the book as a
textbook, along with their students who are also using the book,
six-month temporary limited access to Kongsberg Seaflex WIR. In
addition, this agreement allows individual readers who purchase new
copies of this book from authorized resellers limited access to
predefined projects. Instructors and individual book purchasers may
contact Kongsberg to sign up by navigating to

Details how project interface management can address many of the
issues contributing to large cost overruns and significant
under-delivery on major projects * Articulates why interface
planning is critical and must align with the project plan for
design, development, and delivery * Destroys the common
misconceptions that project interface management is only applicable
within technical or engineering functions and that acquiring an
applicable software tool is all one needs to improve major capital
project outcomes * Discusses the need to systematically identify,
document, and manage technical, project, organizational, and
industry interfaces on major projects to ensure effective system
integration and adherence to project constraints, while meeting
stakeholder expectations and industry regulations * Describes ways
to effectively and efficiently manage interfaces during project
execution that minimize the risk of rework during integration *
Demonstrates how to perform interface management during project
execution using an engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC)
project execution model * Provides practical guidance on how to
plan and implement a project interface management program that
incorporates proven practices in a variety of domains * WAV
material for all readers includes figures and tables from the book
in color, an excel workbook for setting up an interface management
project, and numerous project document templates-available from the
Web Added Value Download Resource Center at www.jrosspub.com * WAV
material for adopting professors include a PowerPoint slide deck
for all chapters, an instructor Starter Guide, and a sample course
outline-available from the Web Added Value Download Resource Center
