Skill Level: Project Managers/Project Systems Engineers or higher.

This course focuses on advanced concepts of project management and systems engineering and their integration in the management of all phases and facets of the project life cycle. This participant-driven course uses a case study approach to examine such topics as system architecting, performance, risk, cost, schedule, reliability and operability, as well as stakeholder management and acquisition strategies.

This course is designed as graduate-level seminar for experienced project managers (PMs) and systems engineers (SEs).

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Manage the integration project management and systems engineering personnel functions to balance performance, risk, cost, schedule, reliability and operability through all life cycle phases per NASA policy guidelines.
  • Apply techniques for coping with multiple stakeholders, complex approval situations and teams drawn from across NASA.
  • Manage the development of a system architecture compatible with the performance requirements and the organizations involved with that system, acceptable levels of risk and suitable for the NASA mission to be performed.
  • Direct the identification of system functional boundaries including multiple interfaces, segmenting the architecture into functions and conducting functional analysis on all of the segments.
  • Construct efficient acquisition strategies, lead their implementation, and monitor their effectiveness.
