Bryan Moser, founder of GPD, recently edited a new book in partnership with the Project Management Institute's Brightline Initiative and MIT's System Design and Management.

Based on research, papers, talks, and workshops at an event in 2018, the book examines the research and practices which expose the growing gap between the strategy function of firms and project implementation.

Model-based project management leading to Project Design was highlighted in discussions and hands-on workshops.

The book can be downloaded at the PMI Brightline website: link to Brightline here.

The Teamwork Platform has been updated with release 3.9.2, one of a few final releases before the exciting major release.
​
With 3.9.2, GPD has refined animations and navigation, allowing seamless exploration of project models in Designer with simple click or touch.  The simulator has been further optimized and prepared for some architectural changes (coming soon!).  The whole platform has been compiled and tested in Java 8.  Several new views and a new application are integrated, but we'll save the major announcement of those to our next release :) Installation has been made easier and more secure, allowing a quick start on Windows, MacOS, and Linux in just minutes.

Two chapters of a recent book titled "Concurrent Engineering in the 21st Century" were written by GPD team members.  The chapters are dedicated to our view of complex teamwork as a sociotechnical system and introduction of Project Design.  Chapter 3, "Complex Engineering Programs as Sociotechnical Systems" and Chapter 8, "Design of Complex Programs as Sociotechnical Systems" were written by Bryan Moser and Ralph Wood of GPD.  Check out the book!
