  Abstract/
Summary
The paper describes the cultural issues and the fundamental practices required to manage effectively and efficiently PLM projects, as emerged from key lessons learned from projects on the fields and from author's experiences. Major topics presented are: scope definition and monitor, stakeholders' role and involvement, risk and communication management, the role of the project manager, and the overall ability to integrate all the previous aspects into a seamless project body. A key issue presented is the balance between two emerging design delivery models: the spec-driven approach, where most of the concept and functional design is obtained through specifications and the pilot/prototype-driven approach, where most of the functional design is obtained thought iterative prototypes. Characteristics, advantages, disadvantages, trends and possible blends of the two models are discusses.
