“…Therefore it is imperative to identify customers' and providers' needs and demands, necessary functionality and the documentation of all requirements before design and validation (Walden et al, 2017). Systems engineering deals with the whole system and coordinates experts of various subsystems and disciplines to ensure integral success (Booton and Ramo, 1984). This success is a result of the satisfaction of all requirements and demands of customers, users and the provider.…”

This contribution presents a systematic for the elicitation of objectives and the utilization of objectives to identify reference products. The systematic is based on existing meta models. The model of objectives as proposed in this research eases decision-making and outlines the next validation activities. A key success factor is the project transferability between teams, which is often necessary in predevelopment. This is ensured through comprehensibility of objectives which benefits from the linkage between the model of objectives and the knowledge base. The proposed systematic is applied to a predevelopment project which is used as case study. In the case study it has been shown that objectives can be used to identify reference products. The approach is validated in a live-lab setting with seven engineering teams with six graduate students, two engineers of an industrial partner and a research associate. Several workshops were used to train all members of the teams in the systematic. The effects of the systematic are assessed in dedicated interviews, a survey as well as with observation of the engineering teams during milestones and engineering activities between milestones.

-There are several definitions of Systems Engineering (SE) in the literature, each with different definitions of its relationship with Project Management (PM), causing a great deal of misunderstanding. The paper offers a broad and critical discussion of the relevant literature with a deep reflection concerning the historical evolution and state-of-the-art of both the definition of SE and its relationship with PM. This endeavor provides two main results: (i) a conceptual framework to define SE in a project based environment and (ii) a model to identify the best formal interaction between the Project Manager and System Engineer based on the project characteristics.

“…The purpose of SE is information and knowledge organization that will assist clients who desire to define, develop and deploy total systems to achieve a high standard of overall quality, integrity and integration as related to performance, trustworthiness, reliability, availability and maintainability of the resulting system. (Booton & Ramo, 1984) SE is the design of the whole as distinguished from the design of the parts.…”
