Collaborate Document Management Plan and design up front Create a short model section for information content and order Create a layout template Create a document control system for revisions Accept individual responsibility and deadlines

Uniqueness of Satellite Manufacture Small production runs Extreme operational environments Limited repair/replace options after launch High product cost and importance High cost test environment Highly coupled designs minimize weight and maximize performance but yield high complexity

Can you read this text??? Can you read this text? What a great way to put off an audience!!! Such attractive colours, too!

Objective To introduce and discuss the fundamentals of earned value project management Work Breakdown Structures Program plans and schedules Earned value management systems Cost and schedule variances Estimates at completion

How do you start? Assume the audience is technically competent, but isn't familiar with your project? What do they need to know first?

Definitions What is Systems Engineering? the ensemble of coordinated analyses, simulations, and processes which lead to a technical product which best meets the needs of an identified customer What does it mean to manage systems engineering?
