Abstract:
Dr. Tina Srivstava and Mark Kaufman of the Project Management - Systems Engineering Integration Working Group (PM-SE WG) will join in conversation with the Project Management Institute (PMI) Mass Bay Chapter on the topics of tensions and opportunities in the PM and SE working relationship.
Commonalities, differences, and confusion between systems engineering and the project management views are explored based on the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) and Project Management Institute (PMI) approaches for systems engineering and project management with an undercurrent of factors that are observed to cause conflicts and confusion between the disciplines in the real world. These intersects are expected to work in concert, yet in real life, the interaction often results in mismatched expectations and confusion as to who has the responsibility for each process/knowledge area. In this presentation we will discuss which discipline might be responsible for various project activities and identify mechanisms that can be used to reduce tensions between systems engineers and project managers.
