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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\" style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px; color: rgb(49, 49, 49); font-family: \" trebuchet ms arial helvetica sans-serif\u003eThis unique book presents a holistic view of a new discipline called \u003cem\u003eproject interface management\u003c\/em\u003e, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"attributes-title\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0px;
