Planning an important aspects of systems

engineering management. The planning involves
the success-critical stakeholders to ensure that
necessary tasks are defined with the right timing
in the life cycle in order to manage acceptable risks
levels, meets schedules, and avoid costly omissions.

Involves selecting goals and objectives, as

well as the actions to achieve them; it
requires decision-making, that is choosing the
“best” from among alternatives.

According to Nickels and others, refers

to “the management function that
involves anticipating future trends and
determining the best strategies and
tactics to achieve organizational
objectives”

Aldag and Stearns, on the other hand,

define planning as “the selection and
sequential ordering of tasks required to
achieve and organizational goal”

The definition of Cole and Hamilton

“deciding what will be done, who will do it,

1. Strategic Planning – the process of determining

the major goals of the organization and the
policies and strategies for obtaining and using
resources to achieve those goals, specifically its
objectives and current resources. The output of
strategic planning is the strategic plan which spells
out “the decision about long-range goals and the
course of action to achieve these goals”

2. Intermediate Planning – the process of

determining the contribution that
subunits can make with allocated
resources.

3. Operational Planning – the process of

determining how specific task can best be
accomplished on time with available
resources.

Coordination an important and pervasive

characteristic.
Coordination has been observed as an important
and pervasive characteristic within a number of
interpretations of approaches to engineering
management. Indeed, coordination has been
identified as being significant in several other
approaches such as workflow management, design
integration, and computer-supported cooperative

With regard to project management. Coordination

as an important factor differentiating successful
and unsuccessful projects, with performance in
product development described as being linked to a
higher degree of coordination.
