Integrating Program Management and Systems Engineering makes the case for improving program performance by integrating the roles, activities, and outcomes of Program Managers and Systems Engineers.
I work in domains, where Systems Engineering is a critical success factor. I work in other domains, where SE is not applied. The difference in success between these two domains may not be obvious, but in the domain where SE leads the development, we know when problems are coming. In the latter domain - without SE - we usually on find problems when it's too late.
Systems Engineering is an interdisciplinary field of engineering and engineering management that focuses on how to design and manage complex systems over their life cycles. Program management is the process of managing several related projects, often with the intention of improving an organization's performance.
When these two disciplines are combined, better outcomes have a higher probability of occurrence.
The book contains content created by contributors from program management, systems engineering, and academia sharing their collective knowledge for the best approaches to improving program performance.
There are several sections on Agile programs, with case studies, an integration framework, the needed mindset to be agile, and the notion of pulsed product integration.
