The system engineering concept refers to the concept that explains
in detail different systematic methods for designing and
successfully implementing technical systems irrespective of its
kind. This concept is helpful for program, portfolio and project
managers since it facilitates a holistic approach of technical
knowledge and practical experience to projects, portfolio and
program. This concept helps in developing practical tools using
which project, program or portfolio manager can deal with complex
problems in their respective systems (Sharon, et. al., 2013). The
concept of system engineering was established by System
Engineering Body of Knowledge (SEBOK) that has proved
beneficial for project, program and portfolio management. With
system engineering, these managers get assistance in an effective
organization of all activities involved in the project. The system
engineering is undertaken by project or other managers primarily
for successfully meeting all requirements of program, project or
portfolio management including product and customers. Systems
engineering come with different core disciplines such as training,
performance, production and operations and so on. The key
objective of system engineering in project, program and portfolio
implies as ensuring quality outcomes to stakeholders by handling
the customer requirements (Locatelli, et. al., 2014). This approach
helps in proper organization and prioritization of project, program
or portfolio activities. This approach makes the management task of
project, program and portfolio managers less complicated by

providing assistance in project scope definition and monitoring the
project plan regularly. Therefore, it can be said that system
engineering assists largely in improving quality of technical
performance in a project, program or portfolio. These managers
apply system engineering using a plan of system engineering
management.
