| APPLYING THE VEE MODEL | |
Part of the series of Managing High Technology Projects
Instructor: Dr. Kevin Forsberg
| A good process model is essential to the effective application of System Engineering in managing projects. This tutorial provides understanding of and practice in the use of the VEE model, which over the past decade has proven to be one of the most robust and broadly applicable models available. This tutorial is given as a workshop that is focused on implementation, and it will provide the attendees with conceptual tools that they can apply on the job. |
