Developing and Implementing a Systems Engineering Management Plan (APPEL-SEMP)Systems Engineering & EngineeringFilter by Category: Systems Engineering & Engineering

PARTICIPANT TESTIMONIALS

This course introduces participants to the processes that support planning, development, and execution of a Systems Engineering Management Plan (SEMP). Participants learn how to create a SEMP in compliance with NASA standards. In addition, they learn how technical planning complements project planning to create the next-level guidance for a technical team.

This course is designed for NASA’s technical workforce, including systems engineers and project personnel developing the competencies required to succeed as a leader of a project team, functional team, or small project.

Systems Engineering Competencies
  • SE 3.1 - Technical Planning
  • SE 3.2 - Requirements Management
  • SE 3.4 - Technical Risk Management
  • SE 3.8 - Technical Decision Analysis
