Engineering activities are sometimes accomplished by individuals but are more often accomplished by teams that perform systems engineering, develop or otherwise obtain components, develop the system, and provide specialty engineering capabilities. The primary role of those who perform systems engineering is to ensure that all elements of a project contribute to an optimal solution within the technical and managerial constraints imposed on the project. Not all who perform systems engineering are labeled "systems engineer." Thus, electrical, mechanical, and software engineers, as well as enterprise architects in IT organizations and service providers may lead or be members of teams that perform systems engineering tasks. Those individuals are referred to as systems engineering in this article, regardless of their job titles within their organizations.
Systems engineers contribute to development and sustainment of products, enterprise systems, and the delivery of services. Systems engineers also coordinate the technical aspects of multiple projects that comprise a program. These activities require teams of individuals who share a common vision and work in a cooperative manner to achieve shared objectives. Not all groups of individuals who work together perform as teams; thus, teams must be enabled to perform systems engineering in an efficient and effective manner.
Topics addressed here include determining systems engineering capabilities needed in teams, organizing teams to perform systems engineering, assessing systems engineering performance of teams, developing and improving the systems engineering capabilities of teams, and team dynamics.
