About this course

A one-day seminar giving non-technical and non-specialist personnel a practical overview of systems engineering and its contribution to capability and acquisition outcomes. It introduces the lifecycle and key processes, and uses defence examples to show how weak requirements, poorly defined boundaries, unmanaged interfaces or late verification planning affect cost, schedule and performance.
