A process model for unifying systems engineering and project management

This article presents an original design for a process model which is considered to be capable of unifying the systems engineering function with project management activities. This design has been developed using an original soft systems methodology which is based on a unique conceptual modelling system for requirements specification. This makes use of a graphical technique for the representation of natural language expressions, known as the systemigram. Systemigrams provide a generic means of enabling systems engineers and project managers to obtain a more enlightened understanding of their problematique.
