TOP LEVEL ROADMAP

The Systems Engineering Challenges need to be addressed in an integrated and holistic manner. They are not entirely independent of each other and reflect only the most significant challenges. Addressing these challenges will be facilitated by improving our ability and willingness to share knowledge, practices, and lessons learned. This sharing is enabled by several organizations and resources, such as the professional societies, industry associations, and academies, and in resources such as the System Engineering Body of Knowledge (SEBoK) and INCOSE product portfolio. These are updated regularly with new practices, artifacts, and emerging technical information. Initiatives focused on progressing the necessary achievement and sharing results include the INCOSE-led Future of System Engineering (FuSE), which includes over a dozen organizations; and various systems engineering research organizations. The figure here is a top-level roadmap that reflects the set of Systems Engineering Challenges. The subsequent section includes more detailed recommendations with respect to each challenge.
