About this course
A 16-hour course on defining and managing interfaces between system elements and between organisations. It explains eight practices used by leading enterprises, and covers interface identification, definition and control, interface management planning, sources of interface complexity (including the Integration Readiness Level scale) and managing change across interfaces. It is focused on engineered physical systems but relevant to software and human interfaces.
