ITEAM Presentation: System Engineering and Project Management

This presentation provides an overview of system engineering and project management, highlighting their value and roles in project success. It defines system engineering as an interdisciplinary approach for realizing successful systems and project management as the practice of initiating, planning, executing, controlling, and closing projects. The presentation details the value of both disciplines, including aligning with customer needs, integrating teams, managing project phases, and maximizing resources. It explores the role of a system engineer in project design and implementation, various project management methodologies such as Agile, Scrum, Lean, Extreme Programming, Waterfall, and PRINCE2, and key project management processes including initiation, planning, execution, and closure. Project integration management, encompassing project plan development, execution, and integrated change control, is also discussed. The presentation concludes that effective project management and system engineering are crucial for completing projects within budget and time constraints, emphasizing strategic alignment, time and budget management, quality planning, and risk management.

Introduction
 System engineering is defined as one of the
interdisciplinary approach that generally helps in
enabling the realization of successful systems
 On the other hand, it is found that project
management is one of the practice of initiating,
planning, executing, controlling as well as closing
the entire work of the team for achieving the
objectives

Value of system engineering
 System engineering mainly reflects on
elaborating the needs and requirements of the
customers
 It generally assists in integrating all the disciplines
as well as groups into a team for developing proper
structured development.
 It is found that it considered both the technical
needs as well as business of the customers

Value of project management
Project management helps in managing a project from
starting phase to the closure phase. It is found that the
significance of project management is elaborated
below:
 Project management helps in planning as well as
organizing Chaos
 Helps in establishing project schedule and plan
 Enforcing and encouraging teamwork
 Helps in maximizing the resources of the project

Value of system engineering Contd.
 Project management helps in enhancing the
efficiency while delivering services.
 It helps in improving growth as well as
development within the team members
 Helps in expanding the opportunities
 Assists in chancing the flexibility of the
project

Role of system engineer in project
 It is found that any engineer can be able to act as a
system engineer when the individual is mainly
responsible of designing as well as implementing
the system.
 In addition to this, it is found that the system
engineer generally uses a proper structured process
of delivery.

Project management methodologies
The common methodologies of project management
are as follows:
 Agile methodology: Agile project methodology
helps in assuming that things that affect the
project are generally predictable.
 Scrum methodology: It is one of the project
management methodology that helps in
improving the service of delivery.

Project management methodologies Contd.
 Lean methodology: Lean is one of the project
management that assists in continuous
improvement by optimizing the flow of value
by eliminating wastage.
 Extreme programming methodology: It is
software development methodology that helps
in defining values as well as processes for
improving the software quality

Project management methodologies Contd.
 Waterfall methodology: It is considered as a
SDLC approach that helps in making good
project planning for executing the project.
 PRINCE2 methodology: PRINCE2 is a
process-based method that helps in effective
project management.

Project management processes
Project management processes helps in
ensuring the efficiency of the project. The
processes of project management are
listed below.
 Initiation: This is considered as the
first phase of the project.

Project management processes Contd.
Planning: In the planning phase of the
project, proper project plan is created
for developing the scope, schedule as
well as cost of the project.
Execution: In the execution phase, the
project tasks are generally assigned to
the team members for managing as
well as monitoring the progress

Project management processes Contd.
Closure: In the closure phase of the
project, the deliverables of the project are
analyzed for making sure that the entire
project gets completed within the expected
time and budget.

Project integration management
Project integration management is defined as a
collection of processes
They are required for ensuring that various
number of elements of the project are generally
coordinated.

Project integration management Contd.
Project integration management
mainly comprises of
Project plan development
Project plan execution
Integrated change control

Conclusion
It can be concluded from the entire assignment that both system engineering
as well as project management plays a great role in finishing the entire
project within the expected time and budget.
 It is found proper management of project helps in strategic alignment, proper
management of time and budget, quality planning as well as helps in
managing the risks of the project.
