Agenda
4:30 to 5:00 PM Sign-in Table Open
5:00 to 6:00 PM Pre-Meeting Workshop:
Integration Means Results: Why Systems Engineering and Program Management Must Align. Two years of research present a compelling argument that effective integration of systems engineering and program management produces results. Learn how survey research coupled with in-depth interviews with organizational leaders uncovered this critical need. Explore the implications for processes, practices, skills and capabilities for both disciplines.
6:00 to 6:40 PM Dinner Served
6:40 to 7:00 PM Chapter Business
7:00 to 8:00 PM Guest Speaker:
Integration in Practice: Exploring Risk Management Alignment. The aim of program risk management is to ensure that the program’s system-of-interest is delivered on time, within budget, and at the expected quality (suitability for intended use) levels. This highly interactive discussion will engage in audience in exploring approaches for integrating inter-disciplinary risk management practices. The dialogue outputs will feed into the strategic conversation between INCOSE, PMI and MIT’s Center for Engineering Program Excellence on what our organizations can do to help enhance effective practice in this area.
