Contact this instructor (please mention course name in the subject line) Systems Engineering Grand Systems Development Training Program What You Will Learn: How to architect an enterprise. How to build an enterprise life cycle model. How to link enterprise functionality to the functional department structure How to coordinate tailored customer-preferred standards to your common process. How to plan a program using WBS/SOW, USAF IMP/IMS, or the grand systems management method. From this course you will obtain the knowledge and ability to re-engineer an enterprise using the same tools system engineers employ in defining a new system encouraging a seamless program planning process that transforms your common process into an integrated master plan and schedule. We will link all of the elements of a matrix management structure to enterprise and program planning data. Course Outline: Introduction to System Engineering A Generic Life Cycle Development Process – A common life-cycle model that catalogs all work you can accomplish will enable tremendous improvement possibilities for our enterprise. A Generic Life Cycle Development Process (Continued) Organizational Structures – Functional department structures for the enterprise resource base and product oriented cross-functional teams for programs and how to make the transform. Generic Development Process Workshop/Demo – Workshops used when presented at a single client and demonstrations employed for public courses. Generic Development Process Workshop/Demo (Continued) Standards and Continuous Improvement – Your common process will be explained in context with your customer’s referred standards. Practices Development and Documentation – Text or database implementation of your common process description. Practices Documentation Workshop - Practices Documentation Workshop (Continued) Program Phasing and Reviews – How to partition the whole program development process into time-oriented phases as a risk management enabler. Product System Definition – The marriage of product definition with program management in the WBS. Program Work Definition - Program Work Definition (Continued) Program Estimating ad Earned Value Systems – Linking money and time to your common process in a program environment. Program Risk Management – Using the risk index to chart program risk over the life cycle enabling comparisons between programs. Program Planning Workshop/Demo - Program Planning Workshop/Demo (Continued) Baselines and Configuration Management – Exactly what is a baseline and how are they managed? Program Libraries and Data Management Technical and Management Tools Base Discussion – Is your enterprise on a path to model-driven development and if not how can it get there? Deployment Motivation – So you think you have a sound system engineering capability! Any problems deploying it to programs? System Engineering Process Maturity – How can I measure the maturity of my system engineering capability that coordinates with a continuous improvement process?
