Systems Engineering Guidebook: A Process for Developing Systems and Products

This text provides understanding and familiarity with the systems engineering process, its application, and its value to the successful implementation of systems development projects. The book describes the systems engineering process as a multidisciplinary effort, integrating system elements, risk management, technical progress monitoring, technical reviews, overall planning and control of the technical effort, and other topics. The process is defined in terms of specific tasks to be accomplished, with great emphasis placed on defining the problem that is being addressed prior to designing the solution. The author discusses coordination and management of all aspects of systems engineering.
