This 5-Day course addresses systems engineering as it is understood and practised by leading acquirer, developer and supplier organisations worldwide. Our Systems Engineering training provides an integrated approach to the set of management and technical disciplines, which combine to optimise system effectiveness, enhance project success and reduce risk.

15 - 19 June 2015 RASW - Requirements problems are at the top of the list of reasons why projects go wrong. Commercial, military, other government, consultants... users, acquirers, product designers, suppliers. You will learn, in Requirements Analysis, systematic, effective ways to capture and validate requirements to a measurable and appropriate standard. In Specification Writing, a two day module, you will learn how to structure a specification of requirements and how to best express those requirements in natural language (English). Both the Requirements Analysis and Specification Writing modules apply to both products and services. Examples are oriented towards products.

Cancelled due to insufficient bookings. We hope to rearrange the workshop for another date. Systems Engineering is intrinsically a collaborative discipline. INCOSE UK has organised successful workshops in collaboration with various other institutions. For example, we held a joint workshop with the Associate for Project Management in January 2013, which marked the beginning of a very fruitful collaboration. We are now delighted to be working with the Institution of Railway Operators (IRO) - an organisation whose members are used to conceiving the whole railway as a system - to organise a workshop to explore how we might integrate technical and operational assets of railway projects better. This is a timely opportunity to tackle a topic of huge importance and a symbol, at the start of INCOSE UK's third decade, of our continuing outward-looking and collaborative nature. The workshop is focussed the rail industry but participants from other sectors that are also interested in fostering more productive relationships between systems engineers and operators are welcome.
