The purpose of the Competency Working Group (CWG) is to establish resources, measures, and guidance to continuously improve the knowledge and skills of practicing systems engineers. The CWG also serves as a forum for continued dialogue on systems engineering competence and competency development.
The goal of the Competency Working Group is to develop, publish, and sustain an INCOSE Systems Engineering Competency Framework (ISECF) and associated INCOSE Systems Engineering Competency Assessment Guide (ISECAG). These products are globally accepted and tailorable to the needs of the organization or individual. The CWG further established that the ISECF should address the soft skills needed by Systems Engineers, and delineate how Systems Engineering relates to Project Management as well as other disciplines such as Quality and Finance. The ISECF and ISECAG are intended for use in hiring, assessing, training, and advancing practicing Systems Engineers; and may be used for other purposes as deemed appropriate by the consumer.

The Competency Working Group was recognized during the Opening Plenary of the 2019 International Workshop, receiving the award for the 2018 Product of the Year. Congratulations to the group, and particular thanks to all those who contributed to its development and acceptance as an INCOSE product.
