    The document discusses the roles and responsibilities in project management and systems engineering. It explains that a basic project requires a project sponsor, project manager, and technical team. The project sponsor defines the project scope and provides funding. The project manager interfaces with the sponsor and technical team to plan the process, schedule, and budget. The technical team, led by a systems engineer, works with the manager and sponsor to define requirements, design, and verify the system. They also create a concept of operations document describing how the system should work from the user perspective. The main takeaway is that an engineer must identify stakeholders, requirements, design, verification, and concept of operations agreed upon by all parties to reduce project failure risk.

    Project Management and System Engineering

    A project in its simplest form will have a project sponsor (customer), project manager, and a
    technical team. The line of communication that is required for a project to run effectively along with the
    ownership between the project sponsor, project manager, and technical team. The project sponsor
    defines the scope of the project in terms of outcome/goals and provides financial support. The project
    manager interfaces with the project sponsor and technical team to define the required process steps
    (required documentation, milestones, project reviews, etc.), schedule, and budget. The technical team is
    typically led by a lead systems engineer (also referred to as the lead engineer at some organizations)
    who works together with the project manager and project sponsor to define the technical solution in
    terms of system requirements, the concept of operations (ConOps), design and verification
    methodology, and identifies the stakeholders. ConOps is a document describing the way the system
    should work from the operator’s perspective and includes a user description.
    This user description needs to summarise the needs, goals, and characteristics of the system’s
    user community, including operators, maintainers, and support personnel. Stakeholders may also
    incorporate technical teams from the project sponsor side. How in detail a project progresses depends
    on the size of the project and individual corporate culture. Typically, for larger projects, this will entail
    having a product and project manager, systems engineers and architects, and team members with the
    specific technical expertise required for the project. In smaller projects, the roles may be combined with
    a single or few individuals. The goal here is to emphasize the importance of an engineer to fully
    understand what is required in a project.
    The main takeaway for an engineer is to identify the stakeholders, develop system
    requirements, conceptual and final design, verification methodology, and ConOps that have been
    agreed to by all involved parties, and preferably signed off. If these main drivers are not identified and
    agreed upon, no matter how technically sound the development is, the risk of project failure is
    significantly increased.
