He has developed leading university and industry project management training programs and trained over 10,000 high-technology project managers.

Dr. Forsberg has over forty years' experience in the project management environment and has received numerous awards, including the NASA Public Service Medal, the CIA Seal Medallion, and the INCOSE Pioneer Award.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHOWARD COTTERMAN\u003c\/b\u003e is an officer and board member of CSM. A founder of Cognitive Corporation with over three decades of project management experience, Cotterman developed IBM's first microprocessor in the mid-1960s and has also managed development and manufacturing projects at NCR, Intel, and Rockwell International.\u003c\/p\u003e  In their book \u003ci\u003eVisualizing Project Management\u003c\/i\u003e, authors Hal Mooz, Kevin Forsberg, and Howard Cotterman set the standard for effective project management, introducing effective models that have since been adopted by hundreds of leading governmental and private organizations.  \u003cp\u003eNow, in \u003ci\u003eCommunicating Project Management\u003c\/i\u003e, they present an integrated dictionary that includes nearly 2,000 terms in project management and systems engineering–and software engineering by extension–defined in a way that seamlessly integrates these overlapping and intertwined fields. Supported by illustrations and explanations that offer a practical context for the terminology, this one-of-a-kind resource bridges the gap between the separate vocabularies of these intersecting disciplines. Far more than a dictionary, this book includes reference sections that address the special problems of and techniques for communicating in the project environment.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe authors’ multidisciplinary approach is further supported by three helpful forewords by the leaders of three prominent professional standards organizations. These commentaries–by William R. Duncan of the American Society for the Advancement of Project Management, Heinz Stoewer of the International Council on Systems Engineering, and Stephen Cross of the Software Engineering Institute–explain how all three of their fields can effectively utilize a unified lexicon.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThough treated and taught separately by most learning institutions, business reality suggests that project management, systems engineering, and software engineering will become further amalgamated. \u003ci\u003eCommunicating Project Management\u003c\/i\u003e lets professionals in all three disciplines communicate effectively with each other, allowing more and better collaboration in the increasingly vital field of project management.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eCommunicating Project Management: The Integrated Vocabulary of Project Management and Systems Engineering\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\"I have long felt that communication should receive more profound attention in the project management literature. Indeed, as the authors stated in their earlier book \u003ci\u003eVisualizing Project Management\u003c\/i\u003e, ‘To succeed at project management, you first have to communicate clearly.’ This new book will be a valuable addition to the library of any practitioner working in, or contemplating working in, the systems and software engineering project application area. The authors must be congratulated on filling a long outstanding need.\"\u003cbr\u003e –\u003cb\u003eMax Wideman\u003c\/b\u003e, FCSCE, FEIC, FICE, PMI Fellow and Past President\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eCommunicating Project Management\u003c\/i\u003e is an excellent resource for all engineers and program managers. In addition to the hundreds of helpful definitions, it provides a wonderful overview of the problems associated with communication, highlighting those human characteristics that often hinder a project’s success. The authors also explore the seldom discussed but critical concept of control gates, which unites systems engineering and project management. This book discussion should spur further study of decision-making and communications with respect to control gates. A welcome resource!\"\u003cbr\u003e –\u003cb\u003eDr. Dennis Buede\u003c\/b\u003e, Director of Graduate Systems Engineering Programs at the Stevens Institute of Technology\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"At last, a book that will tear down the silos between project managers, systems engineers, and finance professionals! \u003ci\u003eCommunicating Project Management\u003c\/i\u003e is a perfect point of departure for clearing up miscommunication. It should be assigned reading for everyone involved in project work–before launch–to have a shared vision of what’s to be accomplished.\"\u003cbr\u003e –\u003cb\u003eBernard G.
