Is there a policy or standard that talks about Systems Engineering Management Planning?
The FHWA Final Rule does not specifically mention Systems Engineering Plan development practices to be followed. The IEEE Standard for Application and Management of the Systems Engineering Process [IEEE-1220] focuses on the engineering activities necessary to guide project development. Annex B of IEEE-1220 provides a template and structure for preparing a systems engineering management plan along with an informative discussion of each section and subsection. Which activities are critical for the systems owner to do? This is a process, like project planning, which requires careful oversight by the systems owner. It can, in part, be delegated to the Systems Engineer or the development teams since they are more familiar with the details of the processes to be employed. Early in the development of the SEMP, the systems owner and their Systems Engineer should complete a framework that will: Identify the core systems engineering planning information that the developer [agency or contractor]
