Always Integrate For Project Success
In our experience, good systems engineering and good project management always go hand in hand. You can’t have one without the other. You need to integrate both in order to reduce ambiguity and uncertainty on any complex project.
The systems engineer pulls the different technical disciplines together and integrates them. Meanwhile, the project manager pulls the different teams and processes from across the organization together and integrates them.
It’s all about integration.
Some warning signs that your next equipment-related project might be in trouble:
- You don’t have a systems engineer
- The project manager is managing several projects at one time
- There is no project charter
- There are no well-defined requirements and scope
- Lack of processes and/or process ownership
- Lack of culture of integration – divergent or unclear goals and objectives
- Systems engineering and project management are regarded as fads
How is the marriage between systems engineering and project management in your organization?
