Then find your goals...
STEP 2: Set concrete goals, tasks, dates and numbers you can track
Featuring 997 new and updated case-based questions, organized into seven core areas of process design, this Self-Assessment will help you identify areas in which Systems Engineering improvements can be made.
Examples; 10 of the 997 standard requirements:
- How will system operators continue to efficiently and effectively use the system over the life of the system, through the many, many upgrades and technology refresh cycles that are bound to occur?
- Does your organization employ architectural designs, software development techniques, and systems engineering principles that promote effective information security within organizational systems?
- How well does the technical approach reflect how the fielded systems actual usage and reliability will be tracked and assessed against planning assumptions made during design and development?
- Should sustainability become an independent field or could systems engineering and engineering management become the integrating factors that achieve the overarching sustainability objective?
- Do the design qualification results from software prototyping and engineering item testing, simulation, and analysis support the conclusion that the system will meet requirements?
- What steps do you take to improve the awareness of the importance of integration between program management and systems engineering to program performance in your organization?
- Where and how does the role of the systems test architect intersect with the other roles in the system engineering process, based upon the respective literary descriptions?
- What types of organizational structures, and methods for integrating systems engineering into your organization, best support different types of systems engineering?
- How well does the technical approach reflect the program teams understanding of the programs statutory and regulatory requirements applicable to the program?
- Have you considered all factors in designing, implementing, and operating custom developed systems, platform integration, and application modernization?
Complete the self assessment, on your own or with a team in a workshop setting. Use the workbook together with the self assessment requirements spreadsheet:

STEP 3: Implement, Track, follow up and revise strategy
The outcomes of STEP 2, the self assessment, are the inputs for STEP 3; Start and manage Systems Engineering projects with the 62 implementation resources:
- 62 step-by-step Systems Engineering Project Management Form Templates covering over 1500 Systems Engineering project requirements and success criteria:
Examples; 10 of the check box criteria:
- Cost Management Plan: Have all involved Systems Engineering project stakeholders and work groups committed to the Systems Engineering project?
- Communications Management Plan: Are there too many who have an interest in some aspect of your work?
- Quality Audit: Is the process of self review, learning and improvement endemic throughout your organization?
- Responsibility Assignment Matrix: Do others have the time to dedicate to your Systems Engineering project?
- Resource Breakdown Structure: Goals for the Systems Engineering project. What is each stakeholders desired outcome for the Systems Engineering project?
- Contract Close-Out: Was the contract sufficiently clear so as not to result in numerous disputes and misunderstandings?
- Team Member Performance Assessment: What, if any, steps are available for employees who feel they have been unfairly or inaccurately rated?
- Project Scope Statement: Is there a Quality Assurance Plan documented and filed?
- Assumption and Constraint Log: Contradictory information between document sections?
- Procurement Audit: What are the required standards of quality assurance or environmental management?

Results
With this Three Step process you will have all the tools you need for any Systems Engineering project with this in-depth Systems Engineering Toolkit.
In using the Toolkit you will be better able to:
- Diagnose Systems Engineering projects, initiatives, organizations, businesses and processes using accepted diagnostic standards and practices
- Implement evidence-based best practice strategies aligned with overall goals
- Integrate recent advances in Systems Engineering and put process design strategies into practice according to best practice guidelines
Defining, designing, creating, and implementing a process to solve a business challenge or meet a business objective is the most valuable role; In EVERY company, organization and department.
Unless you are talking a one-time, single-use project within a business, there should be a process. Whether that process is managed and implemented by humans, AI, or a combination of the two, it needs to be designed by someone with a complex enough perspective to ask the right questions. Someone capable of asking the right questions and step back and say, 'What are we really trying to accomplish here? And is there a different way to look at it?'
This Toolkit empowers people to do just that - whether their title is entrepreneur, manager, consultant, (Vice-)President, CxO etc... - they are the people who rule the future. They are the person who asks the right questions to make Systems Engineering investments work better.
This Systems Engineering All-Inclusive Toolkit enables You to be that person.
