The PM/Systems Engineering Credential:
The PM/Systems Engineering credential is an advanced certification for professionals in the project management field who are involved with integrating the requirements, both technical and non-technical, into the project. The systems engineering concept of this certification talks about various data collection techniques such as Pugh Analysis, Quality function deployment, and the relatively common “V” and “V” (validation and verification) methodologies.
The systems engineering certification is based on practical examples of how requirements are captured, how they are translated into specific tasks, and how requirements gathering is one of the key aspects of project success. Both software and other tabulation techniques will be demonstrated so that participants can understand the SE and PM functions.
The Advantages of a PM/Systems Engineering Credential:
The PM/Systems engineering certification is a must for anyone involved with requirements capture and customer/technology interface. It establishes the technical know-how of how projects are set up with specific roles of project management and systems engineering functions. A systems engineering perspective is often ignored in the PMBOK approach to project management, which simply describes “Collect Requirements” as a process. This certification will capture the specific requirements along with SE integration steps.
