Difference between revisions of "Enabling Teams"

Engineering activities are sometimes accomplished by individuals but are more often accomplished by teams that perform systems engineering (SE), develop or otherwise obtain components, develop the system, and provide specialty engineering capabilities. One of the primary roles of those who perform SE is often 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 SE 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 SE tasks. Those individuals are referred to as systems engineers 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 SE in an efficient and effective manner.
