Working Groups & Initiatives

Technical Operations' Working Groups & Initiatives create the resources practitioners need.  Discuss, collaborate, share in person and online across 50 Working Groups and Initiative teams with a wide diversity of interests.  INCOSE Working Groups create products, present panels, develop and review standards.
You will

  • Bring value to other INCOSE stakeholders in your interest area
  • Build expertise and contacts
  • Help develop and review international standards
  • Share information across Working Groups 
  • Create products to advance the state, art and practice of systems engineering.
