About this course
A five-day course on managing engineering projects to maximise success within constraints. It sets out how systems engineering management relates to project, engineering and general management; how to choose a development style; how to plan, organise and lead engineering; and the management disciplines specific to engineering — requirements, design, configuration, interface, data and knowledge management, specialty integration, integration and V&V management, with risk and opportunity management throughout.
