Abstract

Space system program managers lead extremely complex development programs and are the ultimate programmatic and technical decision-makers. To be effective, they must have sufficient competence in program management as well as systems engineering (SE) to add the right people to the team, direct tasks, understand trades, assess risks, and manage results. To date, a description of SE competencies specifically for program managers has not been defined, so it is difficult to develop and assess the SE attributes necessary for program managers. This presentation leverages the Project Management Institute (PMI) Program Manager standard, International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) SE Handbook, and the commercially available Lominger FYI Guide of competence, along with other research, to define a comprehensive program manager competency model. The resultant competency description provides the competency names, description, and associated behaviors. This work fills a void in literature while unifying related source material and is useful in the selection, assessment, and development of space program managers.

Speaker Biography

Al Hoheb is a Principal Engineer at The Aerospace Institute, the educational division of The Aerospace Corporation, a Federally Funded Research and Development Center leading high profile learning projects. Mr. Hoheb has over 30 years of systems acquisition experience across 30 satellite system acquisitions. He joined The Aerospace Corporation in 1987, worked in the corporation’s matrixed engineering group, moved to direct customer support for several space system program offices, worked architecture, specification and request for proposal/source selections as part of the Corporate Chief Engineer’s Office and most currently develops engineering workforce development at The Aerospace Institute. He works across the government space community on space workforce competency development, defining competency goals, curricula and courses for systems architects, systems engineers as well as program and project managers. He personally instructs in space systems engineering, mission assurance, acquisition, project management and risk management. He has delivered professional papers and workshops to INCOSE, the Systems Engineering and Risk Conference, the AIAA Space Conference and others. He is a guest lecturer for several universities. Mr. Hoheb has earned a B.S. Biology, B.S.E.E., M.S.E.E., and respectively from the State University of New York at Plattsburgh, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, and the California State University at Fullerton.
