The case for Systems Engineering (SE)
The more complex a capability, facility or undertaking, the more likely that incompatibilities can occur. Those incompatibilities can result with project failure or require costly corrective actions. Systems engineering is the best insurance to prevent or mitigate such calamities.
Saving money by avoiding SE costs is unwise, as the Denver Colorado airport learned a costly $311 million lesson.
Proper SE is broken into three major areas:
1) Management
2) Process
3) Specialty Integration
Everything is interconnected
