The INCOSE UK/APM Joint Working Group (JWG) on Systems Engineering (SE) and Project/Programme Management (PM) Integration has been addressing the shared understanding of the two disciplines and how they work together. It seeks to promote the benefits of systems thinking across the wider decision‐making community, and to understand how to deliver these benefits.
As part of its work, the JWG has compared and categorized life cycles and processes within the two disciplines; analysed subsequent theoretical touch points, overlaps and fusion areas; identified examples of actual large projects with integrated SE and PM approaches; and used all this information to generate a set of underlying Principles for improved integration. In addition, the JWG has identified a set of Top Tips to help establish the Principles.
This information forms part of the expanding body of knowledge being developed by the JWG and helping to lay the foundation for improved integration.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
