    Study Notes

    • Project objectives, value, and success criteria should be defined using technical performance measures (TPMs) (Roedler and Jones, 2006).
    • Risk assessment is essential for early identification of areas needing special attention or contingencies (Section 2.3.4.4).
    • Collaboration between SE and Project Management is crucial in project planning, with both performing specific activities and referencing each other's plans.
    • Systems Engineering Management Plan (SEMP) is the key technical management plan, defining the organization, roles, objectives, and control of the SE effort.
    • Breakdown structures help organize manageable and understandable elements, providing a logical relationship between requirements, functions, and products, and an identification of activities and resources needed.
    • Functions are derived from requirements and organized in a Function Tree, which includes the technical characteristics of each function.
    • The SEMP should be prepared early, submitted to the customer or management, and tailored to fit project, customer, or company standards.
    • The SEMP and Systems Engineering Management System (SEMS) work together, with the SEMP providing the overall plan and the SEMS serving as a tool for project control.
    • The purpose of breakdown structures is to ensure all requirements are identified and arranged in a logical relationship, and to identify activities, resources, costs, organizational context, and risks, among other things.
    • The SE practice derives functions from requirements and organizes them in a Function Tree, which includes the technical characteristics of each function.
