1. INCOSE Tech Board Advancing the State-of-the-Art In Systems Engineering by Dr. John Snoderly Chair, INCOSE Technical Board Thursday, August 9, 2000

2. An international body comprised of leading organizations and experts contributing to the body of knowledge on systems engineering An organization whose leadership and members are recognized as having the highest expertise to solve systems problems A contributing partner in strategic alliances with other professional societies and leading universities worldwide A center of competence for research, theory, and practices applied to systems challenges INCOSE is the worlds premier engineering professional society for enabling holistic solutions to problems and needs

3. WHY is INCOSE Needed ? Is the world of SE in trouble today? How would you know? What are some recent examples that point out a lack of SE?

Charter: Products & Services: Enablers: Chair:Co-Chair:Co-Chair: Soft Systems Interest Group Soft Systems Interest Group Products & Services Enablers Inputs Allen Fairbairn allen@jba.net Modeling And Tools Technical Committee Inputs: Our aim is to complement and augment all aspects of hard SE with soft systems methodology and other, related techniques for understanding and evolving systems. Our scope encompasses the entire range of behaviours, beliefs, and values that are implicit in the additional ways of thinking and acting, especially those influenced or determined by human stakeholders, encapsulating these in a helpful and useful manner. Initially, we will list and describe all known soft systems and other, related techniques. An associated bibliography will be produced, together with a schedule of known tools and methodologies. Ultimately, we will attempt to encapsulate and map these in a useful manner to existing SE practices. However, an initial task of describing SSM - the soft systems methodology of Checkland - and its relation to SE practices has been set with a target of Minneapolis 2000 for first completion. We will be relying on the contributions of those who have registered an initial interest in the group (45+) to provide the listings, descriptions and other information. We have a forum site already established at http://forums.dera.gov.uk. We will pass tools and related information to the Tools Database WG. We will seek to contact & work with relevant groups both within and outside of INCOSE. 1.3

48. Advantage –Format widely accepted –Significant similarity and overlap with PMI and ISO models –Integration with other disciplines is simplified –Broad perspective is useful for many –Simplified update over a comprehensive document Disadvantages –Not comprehensive in the near to intermediate term thus requiring multiple references –Format May reduce likelihood of SE BoK becoming a standard –Requires constant monitoring of references Proposed INCOSE SE BoK similar to PMI-PM BoK and ISO-SE BoK

50. PMBOK Comments 29June 2000 To: PMI Standards Program From: International Council on Systems Engineering Subject: INCOSE Review of the PMBOK Guide Exposure Draft (2000 Edition ) The International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) is pleased to have had the opportunity to review the 2000 Edition Exposure Draft of A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK Guide). INCOSE strongly supports the continued development leading to publication of this document as a guide for the development of products and services. INCOSE represents over 3500 members worldwide who are interested in cost-effective development of complex systems. The success or failure of projects is highly dependent on how the complexity is handled in the systems under development. Systems engineering as a discipline provides the special techniques and the required rigor that greatly increases the probability of success. We recognize that good project management is the key to successful systems development and that project management relies on systems engineering to manage the technical aspects of systems development. INCOSE has developed several documents relevant to the practice of systems engineering that should be referenced in the PMBOK Guide as a resource for project managers. For example, we have developed a Systems Engineering Handbook. We are in the process of developing a SE Body of Knowledge (SEBOK). We hope that INCOSE can enlist the support of the Project Management Institute in the development of the SEBOK since there is a tight coupling between systems management and project management. For further information, please see www.incose.org. INCOSE has three main issues with the current draft of the PMBOK Guide: )Lack of multi-disciplinary, integrated project teams. )Lack of technical management to plan and control the technical aspects of a project. )Inadequate coverage of life cycle phases. These issues are addressed in more detail in the Attachment to this letter. Because of the complex nature of these issues, it was not possible to provide detailed proposals for changes or additions to the PMBOK Guide. We wish to offer the services of INCOSE to assist the PMI Standards Program in developing the material for inclusion in either this or future editions of the PMBOK Guide. Overall, INCOSE considers that the PMBOK Guide provides a sound foundation for project management in general, and one that can further evolve to encompass the development of complex systems as well. We look forward to working with the PMI on further development of the PMBOK Guide and hope that you will consider working with us on the development of the SEBOK. Sincerely, Dr. John Snoderly Chairman, Technical Board International Council on Systems Engineering

52. It is not enough to say what we want to achieve….we need to engineer it! Use Scenario Based Planning to develop INCOSE Master Plan….. –define end-states and events to derive alternative scenarios of the future –evaluate viability of events/outcomes, comparing new thinking with prior history and root causes of past failures –select best-fit scenarios and refine into event driven roadmaps, and overlay resources/investment

53. By Year End 2000….. Publication of first INCOSE Annual Report A knowledge asset released by 80% of WG/IGs Membership drive conducted for known market with 10% growth increase by YE2000 A new chapter established in each region A full election ballot -- at least 2 candidates per office Publication of INCOSE Master Plan –Well-defined priorities –Event-driven roadmaps with viable investment plan –Realistic growth profile, with action plan for retention and gaining new membership –Leadership structure transition plan

54. How will you play a leadership role in shaping the art and practice of systems engineering over the next decade and beyond?
