3、e performed.Lesson(s) Learned: OSP was staffed with very capable people, yet was organized more around the people and their home organizations rather than around the work to be performed. The programs organizational structure must reflect the capability and the required input and output of each enti
4、ty. Organizational capabilities and cultural differences must be addressed when establishing working relationship with outside organizations. Additionally: a. Center Divisions When faced with infrastructure challenges, historically distributed specialties and most importantly resource allocations th
5、e organization split among center organizational boundaries. A primary cause of this concern was the method by which budgets are requested, racked-up, and allocated to centers rather than programs. Our accounting system keeps the divisions strong due to our affinity for center performance metrics an

7、on and Operations Office was not viable due to inadequate staffing, unclear roles/responsibilities, inadequate planning, and multiple organizations performing systems engineering functions. An appropriate Systems Engineering and Integration organizational structure should be put in place to cover th
8、e integration of the appropriate key engineering disciplines required for implementation of the system engineering process and activities. The Systems Engineering Management Plan (SEMP) should be developed prior to staffing up - to define roles/responsibilities, planning, and technical integration.
9、Recommendation(s): Design and staff the organization for the work, not to satisfy politics or make the masses happy. Force resolution of issues by product definition/exchange, schedule, and interoperability commitments prior to signing final agreements. A strong, program-centric budget methodology w

Each participant in the system engineering and integration organizatio
11、n should be trained on the SEMP contents as part of their orientation.
