dc.description.abstractThe aim of this paper is to develop conceptually from literature an improved design influencing concept in a constrained project management environment. The project management and systems engineering interface pertaining to project cost and schedule has been researched. Design as part of Systems Engineering (SE) and Project Management (PM) is an important process for product development. The interaction between SE and PM can influence the success of a product development project. A model has been developed to better understand why design iterations are fundamental to the design process. This model has been expanded into a constrained design influencing model that provides a better understanding of the influence of project management in the design process. This model shows that the project manager, particularly if he is under unrealistic constraints, can force a premature design release for integration to the next system level. This model helps to provide a fundamental understanding of the design process.en_US
