What is the difference between the SEP and the SEMP?
In the USD(AT&L) systems engineering policy memorandum, dated Feb 20, 2004, we chose to call the document a “Systems Engineering Plan (SEP).” While the Systems Engineering Management Plan (SEMP) is a traditional term used previously in DoD and more common with industry, the SEP Preparation Guide, v2.0, clearly states we have no preference regarding the title of your technical planning document. The important point to keep in mind is the content of the document, not the title of it.
