This course provides an overview of the measurement process guidance for SystemsEngineering programs. It explains how measurement can be used to help manage systemsengineering programs, defines the characteristics of an effective measurement process, andreviews measurement requirements. This course, consistent with INCOSE’s MeasurementWorking Group (MWG) measurement guidance, is built on the measurement principles andapproach of Practical Software Measurement (PSM) and Practical Systems Measurement(PSysM), which are based on actual measurement experience on DoD and industryprograms/projects, representing the best industry practices for measurement. Over the pastfew years PSM has gained wide acceptance and use, and is currently a defacto standard formeasurement. The measurement process in this training is flexible and incorporatestailoring for each program based on it’s issues, risks, objectives, and constraints.This course will provide an overview of the processes for selecting and using measurementon a project, and for implementing measurement in an organization.
This course is highly applicable to all program management and project leaders, workproduct leaders, process engineering staff, specialty engineering professionals (such asrisk management, reliability, etc.), program support professionals (such as cost/economicanalysis, schedule and control, etc.), and any other measurement practitioners. Thiscourse can also be beneficial to the executive management to provide them an understandingof the capabilities of measurement and its usefulness in providing necessary insight formaking better decisions.
