Project Management for Research and Development: Guiding Innovation for Positive R&D Outcomes, 2nd Edition by Lory Mitchell Wingate presents a structured yet flexible approach to managing research, development, and innovation projects where goals, milestones, and outcomes may initially be uncertain. The book combines project management with systems engineering to help organizations define R&D activities, assess progress, manage uncertainty, recognize emerging risks and opportunities, and make timely adjustments throughout a project. It covers practical processes, tools, templates, tailoring methods, planning techniques, and case studies that show how established management practices can be adapted to creative and technically complex environments. Each chapter includes exercises that encourage readers to apply the concepts directly to real projects. The book is designed for project managers, engineers, researchers, innovation leaders, entrepreneurs, and students who need practical methods for planning and delivering successful R&D initiatives.
