“The Business Case for Systems Engineering Study: Results of the Systems Engineering Effectiveness Survey” (CMU/SEI-2012-SR-009).

The National Defense Industrial Association Systems Engineering Division (NDIA-SED) collaborated with the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers Aerospace and Electronic Systems Society (IEEE-AESS) and the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) of Carnegie Mellon® to obtain quantitative evidence of the benefit of systems engineering (SE) best practices on project performance. The team developed and executed this survey of system developers to identify SE best practices used on p between the application of these SE best practices and project performance.projects, collect performance data on these projects, and identify relationships
