Tom Gilb is widely recognised in the
software and systems engineering worlds as a pioneer in management and
planning methods. He has published nine books, several of them regarded as
landmark classics in the software engineering field.
In teaching Priority Management, Tom brings
together the range of methods he has developed over many years and shows why
they work so successfully in general management.
Those methods are described
in books such as his “Principles of Software Engineering Management” (POSEM). Tom is the world-leading authority on Evolutionary
Project Management (Evo) and POSEM remains today the most widely referenced
source on Evo.
He co-authored the 1993 “Software Inspection” book which
covers the Priority Management methods used in Document Inspection (Specification
Quality Control).
His planned book on “Priority
Management” is at the manuscript stage. His latest book “Competitive Engineering”, describes the planning language ‘Planguage’ which is a major
tool for Priority Management.
Planguage has been purposely developed as a
means to eliminate the vagueness and ambiguity that pervades and weakens the
planning work in so many organisations.
Tom has consulted and taught the methods of
Priority Management at many multinational corporations and government
agencies in the US, UK and mainland Europe. |
