In many of the PPMP units you will have seen discussions about topics such as, systems thinking, systems engineering, and systems management.

So too in this unit you also come across the concept of systems engineering and project management. This is the topic of this week's chapter by Andrew Daw.

In his conclusion to the chapter, Andrew promotes a partnership between the project manager and systems engineer as a means of managing uncertainty, ambiguity, and incomplete knowledge and information. You might like to read Andrew's conclusion carefully on pages 166 and 167. Do you agree with him?
