Annotation
The Handbook summarizes the baseline knowledge of systems engineering (SE). it is used in the KA to help identify how general systems ideas apply to SE. This reference provides the engineered system perspective on systems and an overview of the common SE life cycle and processes.
Note, the most recent version of the INCOSE Handbook is v4.0 published in July 2015. Where appropriate, the SEBoK v1.4 makes specific reference to this new version. However, in most instances the reference remains to v3.2.2 until such time as a through review of the substance of the reference has been completed.
