Approach Applied to
Engineering Systems
 Application of
systems
approach to a
project
 Role of PM in
better
decision
making
In order to avoid overrunning cost and over allocation of
time and resources each of these applications are very
much essential. The system approach can bring all the
project management system together to implement any
project successfully.
The role system verification and validation before
implementing any project are elaborated in this lecture
slides. In addition to that, the percentages of activity
overlapping can also be determined with the help of
concurrent engineering process.
I have learned about the different elements of program
management lifecycle such as program benefit
management, program stakeholder management, program
governance and program strategy alignment. In order to
enable business and enterprise, teams and individuals how
concurrent engineering is essential are also elaborated in
this lecture.
I have also learned that with proper implement of program
management and system engineering phases the working
efficiency gets enhanced and as a result for the project
manager’s decision making process becomes easier to the
project managers. A successful learning of the lecture slide
demonstrates the whole project life cycle and also the way
through which each project management elements are inter
connected to each other.
