Systems Engineering and Project Management: Two sides of the same coin!

Project Management (PM) and Systems Engineering (SE) are two different disciplines yet so important to successful project delivery.

- Their needs are entangled
- Technical solutions have an impact on pillars of PM
- They share the project risks
- They need to build synergy for a successful technical project

They are very much "two sides of the same coin". There are many critical obstacles to overcome to make a successful relationship, including:

- Balancing technical governance with PM
- Optimising the roles of the PM and SE
- Managing project uncertainty & decision making
- Understanding each other’s unique perspectives
- Strong and united project leadership
