Summary: The Engineer's Guide to Product Development
Review: While this book is written for engineers to understand the principles of the product development process, anyone involved within the process can benefit from the models. The book is actually a collection of essays from the author. There is some overlapping material, but for the designer, it makes the models easier to understand. I would recommend this text to anyone who is trying to get a grasp on the communication levels of the product development cycle. It stresses the importance of interdepartmental dependence and how each element fits into the models.
