PCM III is the only modern CM book used throughout the world covering the topics of both Hardware CM and Software CM for the 21st Century

About the Author: Mr. Lyon attended the University of Massachusetts, MIT and the University of Hartford. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Hartford. He has worked in industry (General Electric, Lockheed Martin, United Technologies) for thirty-nine years, primarily in the fields of Project Engineering and Configuration Management (CM). He served as the Lead Configuration Management Engineer and Lead Project/Program Engineer responsible for several large projects in the defense, space and commercial product areas. Since leaving industry, Mr. Lyon has spent the past ten years writing books and teaching seminars on Configuration Management in North America and Europe. Mr. Lyon's Configuration Management processes have provided the basis for the implementation of Product Data Management (PDM)/Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems in several major corporations. Mr. Lyon has been responsible for facility wide training in configuration and data management systems and procedures, and has provided hands-on training for PDM/PLM users, including CCB members, design engineers, drafting, manufacturing and quality assurance personnel, field engineers, customers, CM personnel, project engineers, and program managers. While at General Electric and Lockheed Martin, Mr. Lyon developed the four state level of control system model, a powerful methodology for integrating Configuration Management with engineering development, manufacturing and quality assurance activities. His duties during his 22 years at GE and LM included Lead Configuration Management Engineer and Lead Project/Program Engineer for the Polaris, Poseiden and Trident submarine guidance and fire control programs. Prior to joining General Electric, Mr. Lyon was a Project Engineer for the United Technologies Corporation, where he was responsible for proposal development, system design and test for several large engineering development programs, including the Lunar Lander, Mars Viking Spacecraft, CH53 Helicopter, and several commercial product programs. Mr. Lyon is the author of the outstanding new CM text, ‘Practical CM III: Best Configuration Management Practices for the 21st Century', 'Transparent CM: How to Get There', the CM community's all time favorite - 'Practical CM: Best Configuration Management Practices for the 21st Century', and 'Practical Project: Guidelines for Project Engineers and Program Management Personnel'

Author's note: I believe that you will find PCM III to be a valuable guide for basic and advanced Configuration Management instruction. It includes the best of 'Practical CM' and 'Transparent CM' plus several new topics and tips that will help you do your job better and establish 'best Configuration Management practices' in your organization - Dave Lyon
