Competitive Engineering A Handbook for Systems Engineering, Requirements Engineering and Software Engineering using Planguage (a coined word, from "planning language")[1] is a systems engineering book by Tom Gilb.
The primary focus of the book is documenting an engineering method called "Planguage". The book recommends implementing a "plan-language" to communicate management objectives and systems' engineering requirements clearly and unambiguously.
The book provides extensive definitions of the terms which compose this specification language. It also provides a thesaurus-like glossary which associates each "Planguage" word or phrase with a "Concept Number".
