Discuss your proposed project, and provide a brief synopsis of your system’s engineering management considerations and how you might satisfy the project schedule development, tracking, analysis, and critical event identification and tracking content areas of the SEP. Your submission may be subject to change as you develop your SEP, so consider this online discussion as an opportunity to explore your ideas with that of other students.

Post your initial response by the fourth day of the module week. Reply to one other student’s post; look first for a colleague who doesn’t have any replies.

Refer to the rubric for detailed grading information.

Assignment 2:

6.2System Schedule Methodology Summary

Systems Engineering Project

In this activity, you will provide a summary of the system schedule management strategy for your proposed SEP.

As an option for more insight into the topic, you may read/review the article Project Scheduling Under Uncertainty: Survey and Research Potentials (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. by W. Herroelen and R. Leus (2005) from the European Journal of Operations Research.

Adhere to the following restrictions:

  • Adherence to standard APA formatting guidelines
  • Maximum length of four pages
  • Address the following considerations:
    • Describe the selected system schedule management approach you will use for your selected system in Module 1.
    • Why did you select this specific approach? Discuss one or two other methods that you also considered, and provide a reasoned discussion of why you did not select one of these competing methods.
    • Provide a graphical system development schedule for your selected system and identify the critical events in your system development schedule. You may use whatever system scheduling method you choose.
