Project management is intended to provide sustained,intensified, and integrated management of complex technological development [2].
It consists of applying resources to achieve a specific technical objective;
managing and coordinating interdependent technical and social activities;
and balancing sometimes severe constraints in cost, schedule, and performance [2].
These simple words mask a challenging management activity.
The reality is that simple projects and the management of those projects is an already complex process.
Add technological development and associated system and system-of-systems complexity and the challenge is even
greater [3].
The goal of this paper is to use systems engineering, specifically enterprise systems engineering principles to
identify systems engineering based management principles that will inform managers of system-of-systems projects.
