project management and systems engineering

The project combined and tailored elements of the following into an integrated project management approach: Project Management Institute’s PMBOK (Project Management Body of Knowledge) Guide, International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) Systems Engineering Handbook (SEH), ‘Scrum’ as the Agile Product Development Framework, and the Lean Product Development Flow Method (Figure 1). The outcome of this sprint was the pre-final ConOps, effectively the completed ConOps document subject to final review, update, and approval. In some cases, particularly for smaller projects, the project manager may also be the lead technical member of the team performing both roles of project manager and systems engineer. Systems engineering handbook, Version 3.2.2. This project also demonstrated the successful collaboration between the Rail and Transit Global Technical Excellence (GTE) Center of WSP in the UK and the US. The SEMP is the master planning document for the systems engineering technical elements. A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide), 5th ed. Because of these shared concerns, at times there may be confusion and tension between the roles of the project manager and the systems engineer on a given project. PMI. The handbook is a recent detailed source for a frame-work to SEM and its applicati on for various types of systems. Governance Ethics and Compensation Committee, the high-level system functionality and capability that will be delivered, and. PMI. Old Tappan, NJ, USA: Pearson Education.‬.

This KA contains the following topics: Fairley, R.E. The client, a large transit agency in the US, was seeking consultant systems engineering services to facilitate and support the development of a concept of operations (ConOps) for the upgrade of a power control system (PCS). Stay up to date with our latest global news, events, awards and more. 2011. Annotated Outline: The purpose was to agree on the ConOps ‘system’ requirements (i.e., the stakeholders’ needs), and define the architecture (the boundary and structure of the ConOps document). The PMP is the master planning document for the project. While the IEE standard was adopted, a notable variation to the ConOps was the inclusion of an Alternative System Review section to address the client’s specific requirement for an international best practices review.

Both served as inputs in the traditional project management activities (Figure 2), such as the work breakdown structure (WBS), cost, and time management and risk management. Notably, the ConOps project team took the approach of delivering incremental versions of the ConOps document to the client at the end of each ‘sprint’ period (in accordance with the Agile product development methodology). The advantages of the incremental approach in the Agile development process were that the project team was able to incorporate client and stakeholder feedback continuously throughout the project and avoid the typical late surprises common to the sequential project lifecycle approaches. 2005. This presents a significant risk of project delays, necessitates rework resulting in cost increases, unsatisfied stakeholders, and consequently reflects poorly on the performance of the project manager and the responsible organization. Systems Engineering (SE) and Project Management (PM) are two tightly intertwined domains as stated in the Handbook of Systems Engineering and Management by Sage and Rouse [2009]. The ConOps ensures a common understanding between the end users of the system (including operators and maintainers) and the designers/implementers as to the purpose and functionality of the future PCS: It also serves as an agreement between the stakeholders as to: For this project, the ConOps document was considered as a ‘system’ and delivered in increments (referred to as ‘sprints’).
