Systems Engineering and Project Management Portfolio Report

This report, a weekly portfolio learning assignment, focuses on systems engineering and its application in project management. It discusses the importance of software engineering practices, the role of the IEEE and SEBoK in providing guidance, and the significance of the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBoK). The report emphasizes the interdisciplinary nature of systems engineering, highlighting its use in operational sustainment, solution development, and problem formulation. It also covers the use of mathematical concepts and engineering meta-models in systems engineering, offering solutions to project management challenges. The bibliography includes references to IEEE, PMBoK, and SEBoK resources, providing a foundation for understanding the subject matter.

Explaining the systems engineering
in project management
Software engineering has experienced
practice changes because of an ever-
changing target. Nonetheless, the
provided Guide focuses on the long-
lasting practices that can make the
software operate efficiently (IEEE,
2017). Indeed, every business pays
attention to good software practices that
are secure. The economic environment
can affect the software engineering
(IEEE, 2017). With the emergence of
Computer Society Products, the
software engineering guide has the body
of knowledge for professionals.
SEBoK also affirms the significance of
systems engineering that involves
interdisciplinary approaches including
operational sustainment, solution
development, and problem formulation
(SEBoK, 2017). The BKCASE
highlights the new systems engineering
that offering economic value. The
SEBoK explains the variety of uses of

systems engineering that has emerged to
be a living product. The systems
engineering borders the fundamentals,
models, and principles related to the
systems sciences (SEBoK, 2017). The
systems engineering processes manage
life cycle using other systems like
engineering, management, and specialist
disciplines.
Systems engineering never works in
isolation is an intersection of other
disciplines. The knowledge areas give
the overview of the systems engineer
needs (PMBoK, 2013). Systems
engineering makes use of different
mathematical concepts in proving the
practices. The engineers thus use the
systems engineering approaches and
genetic processes to implement projects.
The engineers have used the concepts to
establish the engineering meta-model
like the ISO 10303 standard. Therefore,
the systems engineering provides
solutions to various challenges evident
in the project management. It
emphasizes the knowledge areas that
