Audience

Our nextStep course in applied systems engineering management targets anyone who seeks to understand the fundamentals of planning and leading technology-intensive projects or development organizations.

To fully appreciate the course, we recommend some earlier education in systems engineering (e.g. our footPrint course DW101 Systems Engineering Basics) and a few years’ experience of working in a technology-intensive organization.

Outcome

After this course, you will have a deeper understanding for how a development lifecycle can be adapted to a development project or a product organization. You will also obtain knowledge and awareness regarding fundamental tools and techniques to plan, lead, and follow-up technology-intensive activities.
