1. Assess the
relevance of
systems
engineering to
project cases.
Systems engineering is related to the technical aspect which a project generally
consists of and is responsible for the monitoring and management of the risks so
as to make sure that the project is being delivered within the time. Besides this
the system engineering concept is also associated with discussing about its scope
with the project management and this discussion mainly includes the fact that the
entire project management is more associated with dealing with the entire project
and not just the technical aspect
