Welcome in my head Objective • To discuss Systems Engineering versus Project Management This is a thinking exercise I have initiated and in which you are invited to participate
Agenda • Objective • Who Am I • What is Systems Engineering • What is Project Management • Observations • Way ahead • A word on certification
Who am I? • For Bombardier Aerospace/L-3 Com • I am a Project Manager • For Bell Helicopter • I am a Systems Engineer
Definitions • As per INCOSE SE Handbook: • « SE is an interdisciplinary approach and means to enable the realization of succesful systems ». • « A system is a combination of interacting elements organized to achieve one more stated purposes ».
Definitions • As per PMI PMBoK: • « PM is the application of knowledge, skills, tools and techniques to project activities to meet project requirements » • « A project is a temporary endeavor undertaken to create unique product, service, or result ».
Definitions • So: • SE and PM are the same? • SE and PM are mutually exclusive? • Somewhere in between? • Could they be actually two required skills to be successful? • Let’s have a look at what INCOSE and PMI propose to us
Systems Engineering • Considers the Product Life Cycle • (ISO/IEC 15288) Souce: INCOSE SE Handbook, Version 3.1, p. 3.4
Systems Engineering • SE in time, i.e. the Vee Model Souce: Visualizing Project Management, K. Forsberg, p.349
Systems Engineering • Four process groups to support SE: Souce: INCOSE SE Handbook, Version 3.1, p. 1.2
Project Management • Relationship between project and product: Souce: PMBoK, Version 3, p. 24
Project Management • PM in time / 5 Process groups: Souce: PMBoK, Version 3, p. 68
Project Management • Nine knowledge areas to support PM: Souce: PMBoK, Version 3, p. 11
Observations • Level of application • SE include PM tools • Decision Gates / Gated process • Documentation • Varying level of details / focus • Technical involvement • …
Conclusion • When speaking of product development • We need good knowledge of the PM mechanics as well as good knowledge of SE methodology
Way forward Because we are INCOSE, the next presentations will focus on specific SE skills
A word on INCOSE Certification • http://www.incose.org/educationcareers/doc/090608_Certification_Overview.pdf
A word on INCOSE Certification People get certified INCOSE Membership demand increases Value of SE demonstrated to organizations Organizations want INCOSE certified people
