Key Questions: Who will Do What When Approaches: Develop a Systems Engineering Plan (SEP) Document SE plan as part of a Project Management Plan (PMP) 16.2: Elements of Technical Plans (SEPs) Technical Plans (SEP) should include: Introduction Plan Scope Description of the System Focus Technical Strategy Development Phasing associated Baselining Key Engineering Milestones Parallel developments Product improvement Strategy Considerations and Constraints Critical Technologies Cost As an Independent Variable (CAIV) Business management directed constraints/ activities that will significantly impact the technical strategy Technical Plans (con’d): SE Processes: Specific methods and techniques used to perform the SE process Steps and Loops System Analysis and Control Tools Special design considerations Organization Plan: Organizations IPTs Roles, Authority Responsibilities Resource Plan: People Funding Schedule 16.3 Integration of Plans Plans that need to be coordinated: Acquisition Strategy Financial Plan Test and Evaluation Master Plan (TEMP) Configuration Management Planning (CMP) Risk Management Planning (RMP) Interoperability Planning Design/Development Planning (SDP) Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) Planning Analysis Production/Manufacturing Planning Quality Management Planning Others
