About Systems Engineering Management
This 2-day course in Systems Engineering Management addresses all the technical management activities necessary to set and maintain complex ICT projects on a successful path. This includes Planning, Organizing, Leading and Controlling the technical effort whilst keeping in mind that Systems Engineering activities are recursive throughout the life cycle of the project. The program follows the ISO/IEC-15288 recommendations, with a strong focus on “how” to do the work.
The course is aimed at the more senior Systems Engineers who will have project responsibilities in a role such as Systems Engineering Manager, Design Authority, Project Engineer etc. It is advisable that delegates who attend this course have previously attended the 3-Day Systems Engineering course as the assumption will be that delegates have an advanced understanding of the technical components of the Systems Engineering activities. The course is based on one full day of theory followed by a one day workshop. During the workshop delegates will need to identify and analyse the technical risks associated with a typical ICT project, and develop an appropriate Systems Engineering Management Plan (SEMP) for its implementation.
Course Topics
- Planning: Interfaces with Project Management, analysis of the technical projects needs, risks, key performance indicators, enterprise capability and resources available for the project so as to be in a position “design” the project. Development of the project specific Life Cycle activities, evolution of the System Breakdown Structure to a product-driven Work Breakdown Structure, technical estimation and the development of an SE Management Plan for the project implementation.
- Organizing: Obtaining and training resources for the project technical activities, establishment of the project decision support and development environments, setting up of Work Packages to enable Earned Value Measurement.
- Leading: Once the project is underway the SEManager needs to provide on-going vision, direction and motivation to ensure that the plan is followed. The course also addresses the role and activities of the project Design Authority, effective Interface Management, Stakeholder and Management briefings and in general the technical oversight required to ensure that the risk mitigation potential of the SE activities materialises.
- Controlling: The SE Management activities of Planning, Organizing, Leading and Controlling are applied recursively during the project, as are the technical activities. In particular Controlling addresses Technical Performance Measurement, Technical Reviews, Earned Value Measurement, Risk Statusing & Control, Management Reviews & Decisions, Change Control, Project Scope Negotiations, Subcontractor Management and Project Closure.
