System/Product Development
The well-proven benefits to your system or product development can be enormous:
- Better alignment of development outcomes with business needs
- Better alignment of development outcomes with customer or market values
- Reduced risk inherent in development
- Reduced development cost and timescales
- Improved teamwork and team communication
- Better data on status and quality
- Fewer system/product surprises and missed promises.
Courses
Development Management
It takes a systems perspective to consistently and efficiently manage the development of systems and products:
- Research proves the criticality of aligning product / program / project management with engineering development effort.
- Unless you do the same thing over and over, you need to tune the management and technical processes to fit the task.
- Initial scope and organizational decisions and process tailoring largely establish likely success or failure.
- Allocations of budget and schedule must reflect realistic activity needs during development.
- Changes are inevitable; handling them wisely and efficiently lets you maintain control of the outcomes.
- Management of development activity is essential, but so too is leadership.
Courses
Requirements & Communication
The ROI from avoiding the most common cause of failure in development: developing the wrong thing, is huge.
- Proceeding in wilful ignorance of what is already knowable about stakeholder needs is inexcusable.
- Very efficient methods exist for assembling a “problem definition” suitable for driving solution development.
- Requirements quality can and should be measured - you can’t control what you can’t (or don’t) measure.
- Needs usually evolve over time; requirements capture and validation must be maintained during development.
- Predict requirements stability; choose your development strategy accordingly.
- Good requirements eliminate a key source of project risk.
- Sound requirements practices ensure that needs, expectations, commitments and technology are aligned.
Courses
Domain Focus
The logic of systems engineering is a constant, but implementation practices often vary widely by domain of application. These courses offer content that is "pre-tuned" to fit key application domains of SE.
- Easier recognition of key concepts and principles when framed in/illustrated by familiar examples
- Faster transfer of learned skills to on-the-job productivity
- A means for broadening your career by learning how systems engineering is applied in adjacent domains
- An opportunity to focus on unique challenges or opportunities versus a more generic treatment of topics
- Improved learning and continuous process refinement results.
Courses
PPI’s entire SE course portfolio has been created to help you engineer systems and products more effectively, and includes solutions for nearly all essential development activities. Above are suggested courses by business objective. The full catalog can be accessed here.
